Abstract

Device for fastening and electrically wiring a plurality of electrical units, particularly in a switching cabinet. The invention relates to a device ( 10 ) for fastening and electrically wiring a plurality of electrical units, particularly in a switching cabinet ( 1 ), the device ( 10 ) having a mounting element ( 14 ) with one mounting side ( 16 ) on which the electrical units can be arranged and fastened, characterized in that the mounting element ( 14 ) has a mounting strip ( 22, 24 ) which forms the mounting side ( 16, 20 ) and which borders the wiring space ( 18 ) for wiring the electrical units, and that the wiring space ( 18 ) is divided into at least two component spaces ( 28, 30 ) by means of a separating element ( 26 ) which can be connected to the mounting strip ( 22, 24 ).

Claims (16)

1 . A device ( 10 ) for fastening and electrically wiring a plurality of electrical units, particularly in a switching cabinet ( 1 ), the device ( 10 ) having a mounting element ( 14 ) with one mounting side ( 16 ) on which the electrical units can be arranged and fastened, characterized in that the mounting element ( 14 ) has a mounting strip ( 22 , 24 ) which forms the mounting side ( 16 , 20 ) and which borders the wiring space ( 18 ) for wiring the electrical units, and that the wiring space ( 18 ) is divided into at least two component spaces ( 28 , 30 ) by means of a separating element ( 26 ) which can be connected to the mounting strip ( 22 , 24 ).

2 . The device ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the mounting strip ( 22 , 24 ) has a slot ( 32 ) which is open to the mounting side ( 16 , 20 ) for accommodating fasteners ( 80 ) for connecting the mounting strip ( 22 , 24 ) to the separating element ( 26 ).

3 . The device ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the separating element ( 26 ) is formed by a preferably flat profile.

4 . The device ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the separating element ( 26 ) at the connecting site to the mounting strip ( 22 , 24 ) has a slot ( 34 ) which has grooves ( 82 ) and which runs in the longitudinal direction of the separating element ( 26 ) for screwing in a fastener ( 80 ).

5 . The device ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the separating element ( 26 ) has a slide nut channel ( 52 , 54 ).

6 . The device ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the separating element ( 26 ) has openings for passage of wiring from one component space ( 28 , 30 ) into the adjacent component space ( 28 , 30 ).

7 . The device ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the mounting element ( 14 ) has at least one other mounting side ( 20 ) on which electrical units can be arranged and fastened.

8 . The device ( 10 ) according to claim 7 , characterized in that the wiring space ( 18 ) is accessible for wiring of electrical units fastened on at least two mounting sides ( 16 , 20 ) of the mounting element ( 14 ).

9 . The device ( 10 ) according to claim 7 , characterized in that electrical units can be arranged and fastened on at least two mounting sides ( 16 , 20 ) which are opposite one another relative to the longitudinal direction of the mounting element ( 14 ).

10 . The device according to claim 7 , characterized in that the wiring space ( 18 ) is located between two mounting sides ( 16 , 20 ) of the mounting element ( 14 ).

11 . The device according to claim 7 , characterized in that the mounting element ( 14 ) forms a hollow profile whose outer sides form the mounting sides ( 16 , 20 ) and whose cavity forms the wiring space ( 18 ).

12 . The device according to claim 7 , characterized in that the mounting element ( 14 ) on all mounting sides ( 16 , 20 ) has an attachment rail ( 36 ) with which the electrical units can be fastened.

13 . The device ( 10 ) according to claim 12 , characterized in that the attachment rail ( 36 ) is formed integrally by the mounting element ( 14 ), especially is formed integrally by the mounting strip ( 22 , 24 ) which forms the mounting side ( 16 , 20 ).

14 . The device ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the mounting element ( 14 ) has an opening ( 48 ) for access to the wiring space ( 18 ) on the outer surface which is aligned obliquely and especially transversely to the mounting side ( 16 , 20 ).

15 . The device ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the mounting strip ( 22 , 24 ) has at least one slide nut channel ( 38 , 40 ), preferably has one slide nut channel ( 38 , 40 ) each on both sides of the fastening rail ( 42 ).

16 . The device ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that at least two mounting sides ( 16 , 20 ) of the mounting element ( 14 ) are formed by mounting strips ( 22 , 24 ) made as identical parts.
