    摘要: A scalable power tap off system is provided for a power distribution system. The system can have components including a line-side connector assembly for connecting to an upstream power supply, a load-side connector assembly for connecting to downstream load(s), and a draw-out circuit breaker assembly connected between the line-side and load-side connector assemblies. The system also includes a shutter assembly having a movable shutter for proving a barrier to prevent access to at least line-side electrical components on the breaker assembly when the breaker assembly is in the racked-out state, and insulated interconnect buses for electrically connecting the line-side connector assembly and the load-side connector assembly to the breaker assembly. An enclosed compartment is provided to house the load-side connector assembly in isolation from other components and allows access to the load-side connector assembly when the breaker assembly is in a racked-out state or the load-side connector assembly is de-energized.

    摘要: Methods of operating a robotic breaker-racking apparatus are provided. A method of operating a robotic breaker-racking apparatus includes controlling a motor to drive the robotic breaker-racking apparatus to a first circuit breaker. The method includes accessing the first circuit breaker via remote or autonomous control of the robotic breaker-racking apparatus. Moreover, the method includes visually inspecting, via a camera of the robotic breaker-racking apparatus, a first relay of the first circuit breaker and/or a second relay of a second circuit breaker. Related robotic breaker-racking apparatuses are also provided.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a distributing board having a position lock device and, more specifically, having a position lock device which can hold or release, at a specific position, an electric power device unit. The distributing board having a position lock device, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, comprises an external case and an electric power device unit drawn into and out of the external case, and further comprises: a position setting bracket which is fixed to the external case and has convex-concave parts for setting the position of the electric power device unit; and a lock device which moves with the electric power device unit by being coupled to a portion of the electric power device unit, and which restricts or allows movement of the electric power device unit by being hooked into or released from the positions of the position setting bracket.

    摘要: An interlock system for a switchgear cabinet of a drawout switchgear device includes a guide rail in the cabinet to align rollers supporting the drawout switchgear device. A stop plate is spring biased toward a blocking position to block the rollers from rolling off the guide rail. A deflector surface on the stop plate receives a contact force from a fastener hook of a lift truck, to move the stop plate and unblock the rollers. The fastener hook then anchors the lift truck to the cabinet after the stop plate has moved away from the blocking position. A bridging guide rail mounted on the lift truck, aligns with and abuts the guide rail in the cabinet to allow the drawout switchgear device to be safely rolled into or withdrawn from the cabinet by an unassisted service person operating the lift truck.
