Abstract

A busbar applied in electrical cabinet disclosing an electrical cabinet set containing main busbars and secondary busbars built in a closed tubular shape, assembled in the referred electrical cabinet, which also presents insulators and secondary insulators, protection system in the main busbar systems, extension set and finally derivation connectors.

Claims (17)

1. A conducting busbar used in an electrical cabinet, containing a main busbar, a secondary busbar, a plurality of insulators, a plurality of extenders and a plurality of derivation connections, wherein the electrical cabinet contains said main busbar built in a continuous manner along a first plane of a frame of said electrical cabinet, presenting a triple wall in its lower portion, which comprises central holes equidistant from each other in all its extension, that is, length, a substantially-cubic hollow-shape lower structure, where the triple wall is aligned to one of the side walls of the lower structure, a substantially-cubic hollow-shape upper structure, where the upper structure is interconnected to the lower structure by means of a double central wall placed in its side portions, wherein said double central wall there are three sets of holes, where each set contains five holes equidistant from each other, in a manner that a set of holes is in the central portion of the length of the double central wall and the other two in each extremity of the length of the referred double central wall; said secondary busbar extending along a second plane of said frame of said electrical cabinet, perpendicular to said first plane and containing a simple triple wall and a sole central structure having a substantially-hollow cubic shape, wherein the simple triple wall is located in the central portion of the lower wall of the sole central structure; wherein said plurality of insulators are connected to said main busbar, a plurality of secondary insulators are connected to said secondary busbar, a mechanical protection system is mounted to protect said main busbar, a splice connection set mechanically and electrically connecting a plurality of segments of said main busbar, a derivation connection set mechanically and electrically connecting between said main busbar and said secondary busbar, a switch set connected to said secondary busbar and a plurality of direct connection cables connected to said main busbar.

2. A conducting busbar used in an electrical cabinet, according to claim 1 , wherein the insulators have a substantially-parallelepiped bipartite shape in horizontal angle, wherein their parts are united by screws, wherein its central portion are located three thru holes with the shape of the outline of the main busbar wherein the lower portion of the insulators, in the inner part of the thru hole, there are two recesses.

3. A conducting busbar used in an electrical cabinet, according to claim 1 , wherein the insulators have a central step in the inner part of their thru hole.

4. A conducting busbar used in an electrical cabinet, according to claim 1 , wherein the insulator presents in its side and upper portions a series of slots in straight hook shape, spaced equidistant from each other, throughout sides and upper portions, as well as rail type slots, which permit mounting the inner protection plates between phases of the main busbars.

5. A conducting busbar used in an electrical cabinet, according to claim 1 , wherein the secondary insulators have a substantially-parallelized bipartite shape in their horizontal angle, wherein their parts are united preferably by screws, wherein a central opening is contained, which is divided between the two parts of the secondary insulator, where one recess is in the lower portion of the secondary insulator having a rectangular shape and a recess in the upper portion of the secondary insulator having a square shape, where, in the lower portion, the central triple wall of the secondary busbar is fitted and in the upper portion the hollow central structure of same is fitted.

6. A conducting busbar used in an electrical cabinet, according to claim 1 , wherein the secondary insulator is mounted on the secondary busbar.

7. A conducting busbar used in an electrical cabinet, according to claim 1 , wherein the protection system is formed by a series of plates, preferably metallic ones, which present a series of holes in their faces, which are aligned to the slots in a straight hook format of the insulators, in a manner that the protection system may be mounted on the insulators preventing the access to the main busbars.

8. A conducting busbar used in an electrical cabinet, according to claim 1 , wherein the splice connection is formed by supporting slots and a central billet.

9. A conducting busbar used in an electrical cabinet, according to claim 1 , wherein the supporting slot has a parallelepiped shape, preferably built in copper or other conductor material, presenting two holes horizontally aligned in their sides, said holes being compatible with the holes present in the double central wall of the main busbar.

10. A conducting busbar used in an electrical cabinet, according to claim 1 , wherein the central billet has a parallelepiped shape, being preferably built in copper or other conductor material, having dimensions that permit its perfect fit between the central walls of the main busbar when placed in a mirror format in a phase.

11. A conducting busbar used in an electrical cabinet, according to claim 1 , wherein the central billet has holes, which are compatible with the holes present in the double central wall of the main busbar.

12. A conducting busbar used in an electrical cabinet, according to claim 1 , wherein the splice connection set presents its main assembly containing two supporting slots being one opposite to the other, so that between them are located the double central walls of the main busbar containing, between them a central billet, where the union between these parts is made by means of two screws, of the same material as the main busbar located in the holes of the supporting slots.

13. A conducting busbar used in an electrical cabinet, according to claim 1 , wherein the set of derivation connections is built preferably in copper or other conductor material, being shaped similar to a “Z”, that is, two flaps united by an inclined central portion in angular manner, where both flaps have two equidistant holes.

14. A conducting busbar used in an electrical cabinet, according to claim 1 , wherein the set of derivation connections connects mechanically and electrically the main busbars to the secondary busbar of the respective phase.

15. A conducting busbar used in an electrical cabinet, according to claim 1 , wherein the assembly of the set of derivation connections comprises the alignment of its flaps to one or two triple walls of the main busbar, being united to these by screws, so that if united to two main busbars, the referred flap of the derivation connections will be between the two main busbars.

16. A conducting busbar used in an electrical cabinet, according to claim 1 , wherein the direct connection cables, connect to the triple wall of the main busbar, by means of an eye type connector, making the energization of another device or switch, directly connected to the main busbar.

17. A conducting busbar used in an electrical cabinet, according to claim 1 , wherein the switch set, connects to the secondary busbar by means of a derivation connection formed of conductor material, which is connected to a central triple wall of the secondary busbar, being united to this by means of its holes, where each switch set is connected to three phases, that is, three different secondary busbars.
