Abstract

The invention is a bus bar comprising a cover part made of an insulating material, and a bottom part comprising two chambers each for the reception of one pole connector. A chamber partition wall is arranged between each set of chambers, wherein at least one connecting lug is arranged on a corresponding pole connector. The cover part can be set on the bottom part in such a way that each of the pole connectors is covered, and each of the connecting lugs extends out through corresponding openings in the cover part. At least one partition wall is arranged on the cover part, which is positioned between two adjacent connecting lugs when the cover part is set on the bottom part. The bottom part is closable on its front side by a set of one or more end caps.

Claims (18)

1. A bus bar comprising:

(a) a cover part made of an insulating material; and

(b) a bottom part comprising two chambers each for the reception of one pole connector; and

(i) wherein between said two chambers a chamber partition wall is arranged, wherein at least one connecting lug is arranged on a corresponding one of each of said pole connectors, and wherein said cover part can be set on said bottom part in such a way that each of said pole connectors is covered, and each of said at least one connecting lugs extends out, through corresponding openings in said cover part

(ii) wherein, on said cover part, at least one partition wall is arranged, which is positioned between two adjacent connecting lugs, when said cover part is set on said bottom part; and

(iii) wherein said at least one partition wall has a length, such that a lower edge of said at least one partition wall which is turned away from said cover part, is at a separation from the edge of said pole connector which faces said cover part when said cover part is set on said bottom part.

2. The bus bar according to claim 1 , wherein, in the at least one partition wall, starting from a lower edge, a slot is arranged, in which said at least one chamber partition wall engages, when said cover part is set on said bottom part.

3. The bus bar according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one partition wall has one or more slots that correspond to said one or more chamber partition walls.

4. The bus bar according to claim 1 , wherein said cover part engages with said bottom part.

5. The bus bar according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one partition wall engages on a corresponding chamber partition wall, when said cover part is set on said bottom part.

6. The bus bar according to claim 2 , wherein said at least one chamber partition wall has a locking protuberance, said locking protuberance engaging in a corresponding recess in said slot of said at least one partition wall, when said cover part is set on said bottom part.

7. The bus bar according to claim 2 , wherein said at least one chamber partition wall has a corresponding locking protuberance on each of its facing side surfaces, said corresponding protuberance engaging in a corresponding recess in said slot of said at least one partition wall when said cover part is set on said bottom part.

8. The bus bar according to claim 1 , wherein said cover part has a plurality of partition walls wherein each one of said plurality of partition walls is arranged between each one of a set of two connecting lugs.

9. The bus bar according to claim 1 , wherein said cover part comprises at least two cover sections.

10. The bus bar according to claim 9 , wherein each of said at least two cover sections is designed so that they overlap in a longitudinal direction, at least in sections.

11. The bus bar according to claim 1 , wherein said bottom part is designed as an extrusion profile.

12. The bus bar according to claim 1 , wherein said bottom part is designed as an injection molded element.

13. The bus bar according to claim 1 , wherein said bottom part is closable on its front side by a set of one or more end caps.
