  • Patent number: 11910547
    Abstract: A protection device for an electrical cabinet is divided into a plurality of compartments, the protection device including a rain guard and an air manifold formed as an integral unit. The rain guard is designed to cover a section of an electrical cabinet and thus prevent water from falling on it. The air manifold includes at least one first pipe fluidically connected to a second pipe. Each first pipe intended to be connected to a corresponding air-circulation opening of a compartment, and the second pipe being intended to be connected to an air-circulation means in order thus to allow air to be circulated in the plurality of compartments. A cabinet is provided with such a protection device.

  • Patent number: 11777235
    Abstract: An electrical distribution module, including a plate that supports pedestals which in turn support power components and power bars connected to the power components. Each pedestal includes a base supporting uprights spaced apart from each other and bridges, each bridge connecting two consecutive uprights at a distance from the base to form an opening for a power bar to transition between the plate and the power components supported by the pedestal.

  • Patent number: 11770917
    Abstract: An electric distribution module includes a plate bearing a main partition and lateral partitions that jointly delimit a plurality of housings, wherein the main partition has at least one channel, and wherein each lateral partition comprises at least one channel that is terminated by an opening leading into a housing that this lateral partition delimits and that communicates with a channel of the main partition, so to as to ensure, via these channels, independent ventilation of each housing and/or the routing and holding of control cables towards each housing.

  • Patent number: 10439303
    Abstract: The application relates to an insulator (30) for an electrical connection (110) pivotable between a busbar (12) and at least one lug of a cable (25), the insulator (30) being suitable for being secured so as to be rotatably movable relative to the busbar (12). The insulator (30) includes a bottom (31), a wall (32) and an opening (33) near to said bottom for receiving a portion of the busbar (12). It is suitable for enabling the insertion of one side of said portion, and comprises the insertion portions suitable for preventing the insulator (30) from being separated from the busbar (12), and comprises a pivot structure suitable for being aligned with a pivot structure of the busbar (12) when the insulator (30) and the busbar (12) are inserted together. The insulator (30) is also suitable for connections where two cables (25) are connected to the busbar (12).

  • Patent number: 10158184
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical connection device (100) including a terminal block (10) and busbar (12) assembly, the terminal block (10) including a first connection point (6) for receiving the lug (24) of a first cable and a second connection point (7) for receiving the lug (20) of a second cable. The second connection point (7) is adjacent to and offset from the first connection point (6). The connection points (6, 7) are positioned such that, when the two cables are connected substantially parallel to the axis, the second cable or the lug (20) thereof prevents access to the first connection point (6). The connection points (6, 7) are preferably offset horizontally and vertically. Preferably, a control cable is connected to the first connection point (6) and a power cable is connected to the second connection point (7).

  • Publication number: 20180358786
    Abstract: This electrical cabinet comprises circuit breakers (5) that can be snap-fitted onto a door (2) hinged to a body of the cabinet and equipped with electrical connectors (26) connected to portions of electrical circuits (28) inside the door (2). The portions (28) connect to fixed portions of the electric circuit, via other connectors, when the cabinet is closed. This makes it possible to avoid movable cable harnesses inside the cabinet, the sometimes problematic bolting-on of circuit breakers (5) by the end-fittings (6) of same, and the risk of electrical accidents.

  • Patent number: 10084248
    Abstract: The application relates to an electrical connection device (100) including a terminal block (10) adapted for connecting to a lug of an electrical cable. The terminal block (10) comprises a locking sleeve (3) adapted for securing the lug so as to enable translation between the terminal block (10) and the lug. The sleeve (3) comprises a first portion (1) and a second portion (2), as well as a pivot element (13, 14) configured such that the first and second portions (1, 2) pivot relative to one another. The pivot element comprises a pin (14) which is connected to the second portion (2) and engaged with the first portion (1) on the side of the first portion (1) substantially opposite the side of the first portion (1) facing the second portion (2). Advantageously, relative rotational is also allowed. A busbar is preferably connected to the terminal block.
