Abstract:

A power bridge rollout service system for removing and installing a power bridge, the power bridge having a housing with an external bus assembly. The power bridge rollout service system includes a roller assembly, an enclosure assembly, and a dolly assembly. The roller assembly is structured to support the power bridge and has a plurality of wheels. The enclosure assembly has a frame assembly structured to support the power bridge and has two wheel tracks. The dolly assembly has a frame assembly, a vertical lifting device, and a plurality of wheels. The vertical lifting device and wheels are coupled to the dolly frame assembly. The vertical lifting device acts upon a work platform such as a skid table assembly. The skid table assembly has a generally flat lifting plate. The skid table assembly may be raised so that the lifting plate is at the same general height as the frame assembly wheel tracks.

Abstract:

An insert is for the structural assembly of an electrical enclosure. The structural assembly includes a channel member having a generally flat portion with an aperture and a retaining mechanism, a side sheet coupled to the channel member, and a fastener coupling the channel member to the side sheet. The insert includes a first end portion inserted into the aperture and abutting the side sheet, a second end portion distal from the first end portion, a shoulder portion proximate the second end portion and being engaged by the retaining mechanism, and a tapered portion between the first end portion and the shoulder portion. An axial opening extends through the first end portion, the tapered portion, and the second end portion in order to receive the fastener. Tabs and corresponding notches facilitate proper assembly of the electrical enclosure and the fastener secures the electrical enclosure, once assembled.

International Classification:

H02G 500

US Classification:

174 50

Abstract:

The cross buses extending through side-by-side cabinets in a switchgear assembly are mounted on the metal cabinet frames by supports having a molded body with a bus bar mounting surface laterally spaced from a support mounting surface to form a gap between the bus bar and the metal frame. A planar barrier inserted between the cabinets has a cutout aligned with this gap. The molded support further has a barrier surface which extends across the gap and blocks the cutout. The barrier surfaces of supports mounted on side-by-side cabinets abut and parallel flanges on the molded bodies adjacent the barrier surfaces form grooves in which the planar barrier is clamped.
