  • Publication number: 20230369832
    Abstract: A service-entrance plug-on neutral (SEPON) device having a conductive neutral sled having a line sled side and a load sled side configured to electrically couple with a neutral bus of a bus assembly of a switchboard or panelboard when the SEPON device is installed on the bus assembly; a lug assembly having one or more electrically conductive terminal lugs configured to receive line neutral current from an external source and to electrically couple to the line sled side; a movable neutral disconnect link movable into a connection position to establish electrical continuity between the line sled side and the load sled side and into a disconnection position to cause a discontinuity between the line sled side and the load sled side; and a main bonding jumper having first mounted to the line sled side and a second ends configured to be moved between a non-connected position and a ground position.

  • Publication number: 20230359161
    Abstract: Techniques are described for electrical equipment management. Embodiments include receiving and validating a login request from a user. Receiving a selection of an order of an electrical equipment system to assemble and, in response, retrieving and providing a plurality of instructions. Performing an iterative assembly process to manage the assembly of the electrical equipment system by the user, wherein the iterative assembly process comprises iterating through the plurality of instructions for assembling the electrical equipment. Recording digital artifacts of the electrical equipment system during performance of the plurality instructions as part of the iterative assembly process and upon determining that compliance has been achieved for the assembled electrical equipment system based on the recorded digital artifacts satisfying a predefined compliance standard, record a final assembly report for the electrical equipment system.

  • Publication number: 20230299567
    Abstract: Techniques are described for electrical equipment management. Embodiments include a method for electrical equipment refit management, comprising: receiving a selection of an order of an existing electrical equipment system to disassemble and, in response, retrieving and providing a plurality of disassembly instructions; performing an iterative disassembly process to manage the disassembly of the existing electrical equipment system. A selection of an order of a refit electrical equipment system to assemble is received and, in response, retrieving and providing a plurality of refit instructions; An iterative assembly process is performed to manage the assembly of the refit electrical equipment system. Digital artifacts of the refit electrical equipment system are recorded during performance of the plurality of refit instructions as part of the iterative assembly process.

  • Publication number: 20230127383
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for a modular switchboard provide an adjustable length bus bridge for electrically connecting two adjacent switchboards, where the length of the bus bridge can be adjusted on site if needed. The bus bridge comprises a first set of busbars, each being electrically insulated from one another, and a second set of busbars, each being electrically insulated from one another. The first and second sets of busbars are arranged such that the busbars in the first set of busbars and the busbars in the second set of busbars are slidable relative to one another to adjust a length of the bus bridge. A longitudinal slot is formed in each busbar in either the first or the second set of busbars, or both, to accommodate a through bolt in the bus bridge when the first and second set of busbars slide relative to one another.
