  • Patent number: 7586037
    Abstract: On embodiment of the disclosed invention provides an electrical equipment cubicle having at least one removable side panel. The removable side panel is not fixed to the electrical equipment cubicle. Instead, the removable side panel is removably coupled to the frame assembly by an easily separable coupling device such as, but not limited to, a tab-and-receptacle device and/or easily accessible fasteners.

  • Patent number: 7450364
    Abstract: A grounding device for a roll-out electrical component is provided. The grounding device includes an actuation assembly, a static grounding contact assembly, and a biasing device. The actuation assembly structured to be engaged/disengaged by a roll-out electrical component. The static grounding contact assembly has at least one static grounding contact member that is structured to move between a first position, wherein the static grounding contact member does not contact a roll-out electrical component at least one contact, and a second position, wherein the static grounding contact member contacts, and is in electrical communication with, the roll-out electrical component at least one contact. The static grounding contact assembly is coupled to the actuation assembly and responsive to the position of the roll-out electrical component. The biasing device is structured to bias the actuation assembly and the static grounding contact member to their respective first positions.

  • Patent number: 7368674
    Abstract: A stop device for an electrical device cell includes a generally flat, rectangular stop member and a generally flat, elongated permissive member. The stop member is, preferably, part of a stop member assembly that includes a biasing device. The cell includes a pair of rails upon which a drawout electrical device is movably disposed. The stop member is disposed adjacent to at least one housing assembly rail and is structured to move between a first, extended position, wherein the stop member engages the drawout electrical device and prevents the drawout electrical device from moving from the first, installed position to the second, drawn out position, and a second, withdrawn position, wherein the stop member does not engage the drawout electrical device and the drawout electrical device may move from the first, installed position to the second, drawn out position.

  • Patent number: 5895279
    Abstract: An electrical busway plug-in brick for mounting on a busway housing includes openings which allow access to bus bars running along the length of the housing. Barrier members are preferably positioned across the openings to restrict access of fingers or other similarly sized objects through the openings, while allowing electrical contacts to be made therethrough. The plug-in brick preferably includes a lockable cover which deters unauthorized access to the openings of the plug-in brick. The openings may extend unequal distances through the plug-in brick in order to provide increased creep and strike distance which prevents electrical arcing. The plug-in brick may be mounted on the busway housing by release pockets which prevent destruction of the plug-in brick upon a short circuit by allowing the plug-in brick to be detached from the housing.
