Abstract:
A switchgear unit (100) includes an enclosure (110) having a front compartment (111) and a rear compartment (112) and a fuse assembly mounted on a wall (122) that separates the front compartment and the rear compartment, the fuse assembly comprising a fuse housing (125) disposed in the rear compartment and accessible from the front compartment via an opening (133) in the wall. The fuse assembly may include a cover (127) configured to separate a fuse (126) in the fuse housing from the front compartment and that is removable to provide access to the fuse from the front compartment. The fuse assembly may further include power input terminals (130) supported by the fuse housing and accessible from the rear compartment and an isolation switch (132) disposed in the front compartment and configured to electrically connect the power input terminal to the upper fuse connection terminal (129).
Abstract:
A modular, space-efficient support structure mounts multiple electrical devices. The structure is modular to allow for subsequent addition and removal of electrical devices by adding and removing primary structural elements coupled for structural efficiency. The structure is deployable in many locations without reconfiguration and has reduced dependence on local site conditions. The structure uses non-permanent construction methods to facilitate rapid assembly, disassembly, re-deployment and re-use of components. Multiple electrical devices such as transformers are mounted at elevation on device mounting columns. The electrical devices are interconnected to each other in parallel or series with connectors mounted on the top portion of the device to allow maintenance clearance underneath. The arrangement of the electrical devices maximizes the density of the devices while maintaining vertical, lateral and radial safety clearances. The electrical devices are arranged in a symmetrical fashion around the primary structural element for symmetrical load distribution.
Abstract:
A tap-off box includes a latch that automatically secures the tap-off box to a busway upon insertion of a mast into the busway. The latch is in the form of a single spring-loaded member that latches onto a rail as the masthead is pushed into the busway. A push button actuated camming member pushes the latch away from the rail to enable the masthead to be withdrawn from the busway. The push button and camming member are independent of the mechanism that extends and retracts the contacts while the masthead is inserted and latched into the busway. The tap-off box may also include non-contact current monitoring sensors with voltage sensing inserts that an auxiliary breaker switch in applications other than a tap-off box, and an infrared emitting faceplate that can be adapted for monitoring a variety of breakers from outside the tap-off box.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Verbraucherabzweig (5; 7) für eine Stromverteilereinheit (1), insbesondere Motorabzweig für eine Niederspannungs-Schaltanlage, mit einem Einspeise-Kontaktsystem (34; 134) zur Kontaktierung eines Hauptstromkreises, einem Abgangs-Kontaktsystem (34; 234) zur Kontaktierung des Hauptstromkreises und mit einem Kennzeichnungsmittel (40; 140) zur Kennzeichnung einer Trennstellung des Verbraucherabzweiges (5; 7) in der Stromverteilereinheit (1), bei der das Einspeise-Kontaktsystem (34; 134) und das Abgangs-Kontaktsystem (34; 234) vom Hauptstromkreis getrennt sind. Um die Kennzeichnung der Trennstellung der einzelnen Verbraucherabzweige in der Stromverteilereinheit noch sicherer zu gestalten ist vorgesehen, dass das Kennzeichnungsmittel (40; 140) einen als eine mechanische Barriere ausgebildeten ersten Abschnitt (41; 141) aufweist, der eine Kontaktierung des Ein-speise-Kontaktsystems (34; 134) und/oder des Abgangs-Kontaktsystems (34; 234) mit dem Hauptstromkreis verhindert.

Abstract:
A partition cover for a switchgear enclosure includes a main cover with a lip arranged along a first edge of the partition cover, a sliding cover with a second lip arranged along a second edge of the sliding cover, and a locking mechanism. The sliding cover is slidably supported on the main cover. The locking mechanism is fixed to the main cover and operably connected to the sliding cover, the locking mechanism is arranged to lock position of the sliding cover relative to the main cover to fix the partition cover within an interior of a switchgear enclosure. Switchgear enclosures and methods of emplacing and removing partition covers from within switchgear enclosures are also described.
Abstract:
A panelboard (1a, 1 b) with a housing (2) is disclosed, wherein the housing (2) comprises a first compartment (A) for a plurality of plug-in devices (3), a plurality of retainers (11 ) for said plurality of electrical plug-in devices (3) and at least two plug-in devices (3), which are arranged in said first compartment (A), are mounted to said retainers (11 ) and are electrically connected to busbars (10a..10d) of the panelboard (1 a, 1 b). The busbars (10a..10d) are assigned to phases of an electrical system (L1,.L3, N) and shrouded along their longitudinal extension by means of an insulating enclosure (7). Moreover, the panelboard (1 a, 1 b) comprises a detachable separating wall (14, 14a..14c), which is arranged in said first compartment (A) between the at least two plug-in devices (3) creating sub-compartments (A 1.. .A 4 ) and which is fastened to the insulating enclosure (7) between two plug-in devices (3).
