System to place receptacles and distribution blocks
View Patent ↗A method of assembling and stabilizing a power distribution system on a support member includes the steps of: fixing a jumper mounting bracket to a jumper cable near one end of the jumper cable; fastening a power distribution block to the support member; electrically coupling the jumper cable one end and the power distribution block; attaching the jumper mounting bracket to the support member; electrically connecting a modular electrical component to the power distribution block; mechanically connecting the modular electrical component to the jumper mounting bracket; fastening a second power distribution block to the support member at a preferred location relative to the location of the first mentioned distribution block; fixing two additional jumper mounting brackets to a second jumper cable, one near each of the opposite ends of the second jumper cable; electrically coupling one end of the second jumper cable to the first mentioned power distribution block; electrically coupling the other end of the second jumper cable to the second power distribution block; and attaching the two additional jumper mounting brackets to the support member.
1. A method of assembling and stabilizing a power distribution system on a support member, comprising the steps of:
fixing a first jumper mounting bracket to a first jumper cable near one end of the first jumper cable;
fastening a first power distribution block to the support member;
electrically coupling the first jumper cable one end and the first power distribution block;
attaching the first jumper mounting bracket to the support member;
electrically connecting a modular electrical component to the first power distribution block;
mechanically connecting the modular electrical component to the first jumper mounting bracket;
fastening a second power distribution block to the support member at a preferred location relative to the location of the first power distribution block;
fixing two additional jumper mounting brackets to a second jumper cable, one near each of the opposite ends of the second jumper cable;
electrically coupling one end of the second jumper cable to the first power distribution block;
electrically coupling the other end of the second jumper cable to the second power distribution block; and
attaching the two additional jumper mounting brackets to the support member.
2. The method of assembling and stabilizing a power distribution system of claim 1 , further including attaching a second jumper mounting bracket to the first jumper cable near a cable end opposite said one end of the first jumper cable, and including the additional steps of:
fastening a third power distribution block to the support member at a preferred location relative to the location of the first power distribution block,
electrically coupling said opposite end of the first jumper cable to the third power distribution block and attaching the second jumper mounting bracket to the support member if the distance between the preferred locations is less than the length of the first jumper cable; and
fixing two additional jumper mounting brackets to a third jumper cable, one near each of the opposite ends of the third jumper cable, electrically coupling one end of the third jumper cable to a fourth power distribution block, electrically coupling the other end of the third jumper cable to the third power distribution block if the distance between the third and fourth power distribution blocks is less than the length of the third jumper cable, and attaching at least one of the two additional jumper mounting brackets to the support member.
