System and method for mounting a panel to an electrical cabinet
Systems and methods for mounting a panel to a wiring cabinet are provided. The wiring cabinet can include a frame profile with a frame profile opening and the panel can have a panel opening. A fastening element used to mount the panel to the wiring cabinet can include an expanding rivet with an opening and at least two rivet legs. The expanding rivet can be received through the panel opening and the frame profile opening when aligned. The fastener can also include an expanding body that can be inserted into the opening of the expanding rivet so that the rivet legs are forced apart to cause the rivet legs to engage the frame profile.
Mounting Arrangement and Method for Enclosure Panels
Embodiments of the invention provide a system and a method for mounting a panel within an enclosure. Using one or more sets of mounting blocks, the panel and a frame of the enclosure can be secured together in respective horizontal orientations, then collectively rotated to a vertical orientation. The one or more sets of mounting blocks can include a set of stop blocks, each including a respective tongue, and a set of slide blocks, each defining a respective recess when seated on a frame member of the enclosure frame. Each tongue can be configured to nest within a corresponding recess when the mounting blocks secure the panel to a corresponding frame member.
Plug-on service-entrance neutral device
A service-entrance plug-on neutral (SEPON) device having a conductive neutral sled having a line sled side and a load sled side configured to electrically couple with a neutral bus of a bus assembly of a switchboard or panelboard when the SEPON device is installed on the bus assembly; a lug assembly having one or more electrically conductive terminal lugs configured to receive line neutral current from an external source and to electrically couple to the line sled side; a movable neutral disconnect link movable into a connection position to establish electrical continuity between the line sled side and the load sled side and into a disconnection position to cause a discontinuity between the line sled side and the load sled side; and a main bonding jumper having first mounted to the line sled side and a second ends configured to be moved between a non-connected position and a ground position.
Mount for electronic device
A mount for an electronic device includes a first mount portion having a first base and a first extension extending crosswise to a first base surface of the first base. The mount also includes a second mount portion having a second base, a channel support extending from the second base, a lateral wall extending from the channel support, and a second extension extending crosswise to a second base surface of the second base. The second base, the channel support, and the lateral wall define a channel configured to receive the first base of the first mount portion, and the first base surface, the second base surface, the first extension, and the second extension cooperatively define a space configured to receive the electronic device.
Bus stack hoist and attachment features
An electrical cabinet includes a cabinet frame, two or more hoist brackets, a hoist bar, and a hoist mechanism. The cabinet frame has a top section and a bottom section. The bottom section rests on an underlying supporting surface, and the top section is positioned at an opposing side of the cabinet frame from the bottom section. The hoist brackets are coupled to the top section of the cabinet frame. Each of the hoist brackets has a respective indentation. The hoist bar rests in the indentations of the two or more hoist brackets, and includes a first groove. The hoist mechanism rests in the first groove of the hoist bar. The hoist mechanism is configured to facilitate lifting and positioning of an electrical component of a power distribution system within the electrical cabinet. The electrical component can be a bus assembly for a switchboard.
COMBINER CABINET AND ENERGY STORAGE DEVICE
A combiner cabinet and an energy storage device are provided. The combiner cabinet includes a cabinet body and a power distribution unit, a control unit and a combiner unit that are arranged in the cabinet body. The cabinet body is provided with an opening and a first storage space, a second storage space and a third storage space that are sequentially arranged from top to bottom in a vertical direction. The power distribution unit is arranged in the first storage space. The opening is respectively in communication with the first storage space, the second storage space and the third storage space. The power distribution unit is arranged in the first storage space, the control unit is arranged in the second storage space, and the combiner unit is arranged in the third storage space.
Adjustable length bus bridge for modular switchboard
A modular switchboard provides an adjustable length bus bridge for electrically connecting two adjacent switchboards, where the length of the bus bridge can be adjusted on site if needed. The bus bridge comprises a first set of busbars, each being electrically insulated from one another, and a second set of busbars, each being electrically insulated from one another. The first and second sets of busbars are arranged such that the busbars in the first set of busbars and the busbars in the second set of busbars are slidable relative to one another to adjust a length of the bus bridge. A longitudinal slot is formed in each busbar in either the first or the second set of busbars, or both, to accommodate a through bolt in the bus bridge when the first and second set of busbars slide relative to one another.
POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
A power distribution management unit includes a frame assembly, an input enclosure, a three-phase enclosure, a transformer enclosure, and a single-phase enclosure. The frame assembly includes a base and a framework coupled to and extending from the base. The input enclosure, the three-phase enclosure, the transformer enclosure, and the single-phase enclosure are coupled to and supported above the base by the framework. The input enclosure receives an input power. The three-phase enclosure receives the input power and includes a first high-power outlet rated at a first current value, a second high-power outlet rated at a second current value, and a first and a second high-power switch. The first current value is higher than the second current value. The transformer enclosure converts the input power from three-phase power to single-phase power. The single-phase enclosure receives the single-phase power and includes a plurality of intermediate-power outlets and a plurality of low-power outlets.
SWITCHGEAR ASSEMBLY WITH ADJUSTABLE FRAME
A switchgear assembly includes a switchgear and a frame configured to support the switchgear, the frame including, a base frame section connected to a base surface, a slidable frame section slidably coupled to the base frame section and movable to vary a height of the switchgear relative to the base surface, and a tiltable frame section pivotably coupled to the slidable frame section and movable to vary a tilt angle of the switchgear relative to the base surface.
Modular instrument compartment
An instrument compartment for an electrical cabinet includes a box-shaped compartment structure comprising a stationary end portion mounted on a frame of an electrical cabinet and a swingable portion hinge-mounted to the stationary end portion. A power supply terminal is mounted to an inside surface of the stationary end portion, configured to supply electrical power to electrical components in the interior space of the compartment structure. Guide structures are mounted on an inside back panel of the interior space within the compartment structure, configured to position the electrical components for connection to wiring harnesses and the power supply terminal or other electrical components to facilitate assembly of the electrical components within the interior space of the compartment structure.
