  • Patent number: 9419423
    Abstract: A bus bar for electric power distribution switchboard is disclosed, which can include a conducting body, which longitudinally extends along a principal axis and, which, seen in a transversal cross-section, has a first side and a second side transversally connected by a third side and a fourth side. The body has, on the first side, at least a first slot and a second separated slot, and wherein the first slot has a first bottom portion from which a first lateral wall and a second lateral wall protrude transversally facing to each other, and the second slot has a second bottom portion from which a third lateral wall and a fourth lateral wall protrude transversally facing to each other. Each of the first bottom portion and the second bottom portion includes two substantially straight tracts, which form an angle of less than 180° between them.

  • Patent number: 9078340
    Abstract: A cabinet for an electrical switchboard includes a supporting base and a frame mounted on the supporting base. The supporting base includes a base element having a lower wall configured to rest on a bearing surface, and a first lateral wall and a second lateral wall which protrude transversally from the lower wall and face each other. The base element includes a first upper wall protruding from an upper end of the first lateral wall towards the second lateral wall, a second upper wall protruding from an upper end of the second lateral wall towards the first lateral wall, so as to extend over at least a portion of the first upper wall. The base element also includes a coupling mechanism which couples the first and second upper walls to each other for supporting a corresponding portion of the frame.

  • Patent number: 8148640
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an insulating element (1) for producing an insulating and supporting device for busbars to install in cabinets for low voltage distribution switchboards. The invention also relates to an insulating and supporting device for busbars comprising the insulating element which essentially comprises a body made of insulating material (5) which extends along a longitudinal axis (100) between two end surfaces (8) transverse to this axis. The body made of insulating material (5) comprises a plurality of lateral surfaces (10, 20) which extend between the end surfaces (8) in the direction of said longitudinal axis (100). At least a first (10) and a second (20) of these lateral surfaces are provided with longitudinal grooves (11, 21) defined between connecting portions (15). In particular, the longitudinal grooves (11) defined on the first lateral surface (10) have a longitudinal extension (L1) differing from that (L2) of the grooves (21) defined on the second lateral surface (20).

  • Patent number: 7433205
    Abstract: Described herein is a supporting device for busbars in a cabinet for an electrical switchboard comprising: at least one first module with a shaped body designed to be connected to a supporting element of the cabinet; the first module is made substantially of insulating material and has a first wall, designed to be set resting on the supporting element, and a second wall, along which there is defined at least one first coupling seat; and at least one second module with a shaped body made substantially of insulating material, which has a third wall, along which there is defined at least one second coupling seat, and a fourth wall, along which there is defined at least one third coupling seat. The second module is operatively coupleable to the first module alternatively with said third or said fourth wall facing said second wall so that said first seat mates geometrically with said second or said third seat, so forming a seat for housing a busbar.
