  • Patent number: 10570891
    Abstract: A busbar system includes a plurality of bar modules arranged one behind the other and connected to each other via clamping brackets. Each bar module has a plurality of busbars. The bar module end including the recesses running in a longitudinal extension is inserted into the clamping bracket and the bar module end with the recesses running transversely to the longitudinal extension is suspended on the opposite side in the clamping bracket. Each of the busbars of the one bar module rests laterally against a busbar of the other bar module and the recesses, as viewed from the side, form a through-opening, through which a tensioning element supported on the clamping bracket runs, which presses together the sides of the busbars which rest against each other.

  • Patent number: 9923352
    Abstract: A device is disclosed for connecting a first bus bar to a second bus bar. The device includes a pivoting device and an adapter bus bar. The pivoting device is connected to the adapter bus bar and is mounted to pivot about the adapter bus bar. The pivoting device can be fastened to a first busbar or to a housing of a first busbar, and the adapter busbar can be pivoted into a second position in which it can be electrically connected to a second busbar.

  • Publication number: 20160248237
    Abstract: A busbar system is disclosed for the transport of electrical energy, the busbar system being in a vertical setup position. The busbar system includes at least one busbar and a cover surrounding the at least one busbar, the busbar system being divided into elements, each element having an inlet opening in a lower region of the housing and an outlet opening in an upper region of the housing. The housing is substantially closed between the inlet opening and the outlet opening of each element.

  • Patent number: 8512057
    Abstract: A device includes rigid connecting bars for conductively connecting first to second busbars, the contact sides of which run parallel to each other and which can be held together with the connecting bars by applying pressure with the help of a first and a second connecting mechanism, each of which has a connecting bolt extending transverse to the contact sides. In at least one embodiment, each of the connecting bars has a first contact surface to conductively contact the contact side of one of the first busbars while having a second contact surface to conductively contact the contact side of one of the second busbars. In order to be able to even more easily connect the first and second busbars, especially when the busbars are pre-assembled in segments, e.g. in power module segments of a wind power plant, the connecting bars have a first and a second recess that is open on one side, namely on the side facing the connecting bolts, such that the connecting bars embrace the connecting bolts.

  • Patent number: 5222910
    Abstract: An apparatus for electrical connection which has good contact characteristics, consists of simple parts, is easy to assemble and install, and is also suitable for the electrical connection to C-shaped bus bars or bus bars with slot shaped tap zones, which bus bars are preferably in withdrawable unit distribution boards or panels. The apparatus preferably has a mounting element, elastic contact elements, and a plug element. The plug element preferably has a plug shell, a contact strip, and contact laminar strips, which contact laminar strips are embedded in window like openings of the plug shell and act as elastic current bridges between the bus bar or socket element and the contact strip carrying the current located within the connection apparatus.
