Tap apparatus for electrically interconnecting an electrical busway and switchgear, and system including the same
A system includes an electrical busway, an electrical enclosure enclosing an electrical apparatus, the electrical enclosure including an interior and a mounting portion with an opening therethrough; and a tap apparatus electrically interconnecting the electrical busway and the electrical apparatus. The tap apparatus includes a first portion electrically interconnected with the electrical busway through the opening of the mounting portion, a second portion removeably coupled to the mounting portion of the electrical enclosure from the interior of the electrical enclosure, and a third portion including a flexible electrical connection electrically interconnected with the electrical apparatus.
1. A tap apparatus for electrically interconnecting an electrical busway and switchgear, said switchgear including an enclosure having an interior and a mounting portion with an opening therethrough, said tap apparatus comprising:
a first portion structured to electrically interconnect with said electrical busway through the opening of said mounting portion;
a second portion structured to be removeably coupled to the mounting portion of said enclosure from the interior of said enclosure;
a third portion including a flexible electrical connection structured to electrically interconnect with said switchgear; and
wherein a number of gaskets are structured to electrically isolate said first portion from said second portion.
2. A system comprising:
an electrical busway;
an electrical enclosure enclosing an electrical apparatus, said electrical enclosure including an interior and a mounting portion with an opening therethrough;
a tap apparatus electrically interconnecting said electrical busway and said electrical apparatus, said tap apparatus comprising:
a first portion electrically interconnected with said electrical busway through the opening of said mounting portion,
a second portion removeably coupled to the mounting portion of said electrical enclosure from the interior of said electrical enclosure,
a third portion including a flexible electrical connection electrically interconnected with said electrical apparatus; and
wherein a number of gaskets electrically isolate said first portion from said second portion.
3. A system comprising:
an electrical busway;
an electrical enclosure enclosing an electrical apparatus, said electrical enclosure including an interior and a mounting portion with an opening therethrough;
a tap apparatus electrically interconnecting said electrical busway and said electrical apparatus, said tap apparatus comprising:
a first portion electrically interconnected with said electrical busway through the opening of said mounting portion,
a second portion removeably coupled to the mounting portion of said electrical enclosure from the interior of said electrical enclosure,
a third portion including a flexible electrical connection electrically interconnected with said electrical apparatus; and
wherein said second portion comprises a number of covers and a number of cover assemblies.
4. The system of claim 3 wherein said second portion further comprises a number of mounting plates.
5. The system of claim 4 wherein said number of mounting plates are removably coupled to the mounting portion of said electrical enclosure from the interior of said electrical enclosure.
6. The system of claim 5 wherein the mounting portion of the electrical enclosure is a portion of a side of said electrical enclosure.
