English term or phrase: Voltage Rail
"A voltage "rail" refers to a single voltage provided by the PSU (short for power supply - actually it stands for power supply unit). An ATX PSU has one 3.3 volt rail. It also has one 5 volt rail. The 3.3 volt rail has its own circuitry in the PSU which generates the voltage."

The full phrase I'm trying to translate is "Externally regulated voltage rail", but I'm stuck on how best to translate "voltage rail".

Any help is appreciated, thanks :)

Notes to answerer
Asker: I've had a look at this, and I don't think it's quite right for what I'm translating. The busbar is what regulates the power, but I wanted to know what those pathways/rails would be called. Thanks for your reply.
