  • Patent number: 9373948
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical distribution board. The electrical distribution board comprises at least one incoming conductor terminal, at least one outgoing conductor terminal, at least one longitudinal bus conductor connected to the at least one incoming conductor terminal, at least one lateral conductor tab connected to the at least one bus conductor for distributing electrical power from the at least one bus conductor to the at least one outgoing conductor terminal, and at least one isolation mechanism for electrically isolating the at least one outgoing conductor terminal from the at least one lateral conductor tab. The at least one isolation mechanism is moveable between a first position in which the at least one outgoing conductor terminal is electrically isolated from the at least one lateral conductor tab and a second position in which the at least one outgoing conductor terminal is electrically connected to the at least one lateral conductor tab.

  • Patent number: 6531948
    Abstract: A fuse handling device for use with a fuse unit having a pair of contacts between which a fuse terminals which act as switching contacts may extend in use. The handling device comprises an actuating lever operable into a first position and a second position, a charging means operably connected to the actuating lever and a drive means operably connected to the charging means. The handling device in use is mounted on the fuse unit. The drive means attaches to the fuse and operation of the actuating lever into the first position charges the charging means to causes the drive means to extract the fuse from the pair of contacts and operation of the actuating lever into the second position charges the charging means to cause the drive means to insert the fuse into the pair of contacts. The fuse moves in a direction parallel to a plane of its switching contacts.
