Definitions
- the invention relates to a materialization accessory a temporary connection space on a electrical connection.
- the invention also relates to a electrical connection set comprising, inter alia, such an accessory and a method of creating a space for temporary connection on such a device.
- a bar system can be used to power, at using conductive cables, an energy use site electrical such as housing, industrial premises, building or subdivision.
- a connection device electric can be used in a connection cabinet and, for example, in a current distribution cabinet between several dwellings located in a housing estate or a street, or several apartments in a building.
- bars are arranged parallel to each other on storied modules while covers define areas of connection of connectors mounted at the end of cables.
- These connectors are each provided for connection of long term of a site of use and are sized to so as to guarantee a reliable connection over time. For do this these connectors have a substantially equal width to the width of the connection area, which is around 50 mm, and a length of the order of 100 mm allowing the positioning of a connector fixing screw on the bar considered and one or two locking screws the end of the cable into the connector.
- the invention relates to an accessory of materialization of a temporary connection space on a electrical connection device between a busbar and several conductor cables fitted with connectors long-term connection that is equipped with at least one member capable of preventing the connection of one of these connectors in the temporary connection space in an area normally provided for the connection of such a connector while said accessory allows the connection of temporary connection connectors on areas of said temporary connection space.
- the accessory of the invention therefore makes it possible to neutralize certain connection areas normally usable for long-lasting plug connectors, which avoids an operator only uses the temporary connection space for long term connections.
- the accessory is a patch on the device, which allows you to create or no, at the operator's choice, a connection space temporary on a connection device or on the contrary to use, for long-term connections, all connection areas of this device.
- the device connection is therefore formed of the same parts whatever the intended use, with or without connection space temporary, the accessory allowing to switch from one type of use to another.
- the invention also relates to a set of electrical connection between a busbar and several conductor cables fitted with connection connectors long-term, this set defining areas of connection of these connectors, which includes at least one accessory as previously described. So-and-so allows an efficient connection both for the connection of long life of some cables and for connection temporary other cables. We can in particular predict that this set includes a reception area for means of removable accessory mounting, such as a screw, depending on which has been considered above.
- the invention finally relates to a method for creating a temporary connection space on a electrical connection between a busbar and several conductor cables fitted with connection connectors long-term, this process consisting in mounting on this device an accessory capable of preventing the connection of connectors in areas normally provided for connection of such connector and to allow the connection of connectors temporary connection.
- This process has the advantage of great simplicity, without structural modification of the connection device other than the addition of the accessory.
- the electrical connection device shown in the figures comprises four bars 1 to 4 arranged parallel to an axis XX 'on bases made of an insulating plastic material. These bases have a width l 5 of the order of 100 mm. In the example shown where bars of length equal to approximately 300 mm are used, three bases are juxtaposed.
- Each base is intended to be covered by a cap insulating 6, 6 'or 6 "able to insulate the bars 1 to 4 of the exterior in order to avoid any risk of short circuit and / or electrocution.
- the bases 5, 5 'and 5 are stepped and define receiving housings for bars 1 to 4.
- Each bar is provided with thread 11, 12, 13 or 14 for receiving screws belonging to connectors 101, 102, 103 and 104 of shape generally parallelepiped and which are mounted at the end of conducting cables 111, 112, 113 and 114.
- the elements 101 to 104 and 111 to 113 are shown in lines mixed for clarity of the drawing, cables 111 to 113 being represented by their respective axis lines.
- the connectors 101 to 104 can be of the known type of FR-A-2 715 775, FR-A-2 731 847, FR-A-2 751 465, FR-A-2 757 688 or FR-A-2 777 132.
- Each cap 6, 6 ′ or 6 "defines openings which can be closed by shutters 7, access to the bars 1 to 4 taking place by lifting one of the shutters to access a zone Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 or Z 4 with a generally rectangular section in which the bars 1 to 4 are exposed and each have an internal thread 11, 12, 13 or 14.
- the 5, 5 'and 5 "bases are identical, as are the 6, 6 'and 6 "caps.
- the cap 6 comprises two longitudinal ribs 61 and 62, the rib 61 being arranged on the right of the cap 6 in FIG. 1 while the rib 62 is arranged in a overall median plane of the cap 6.
- an accessory 50 is provided which is capable of being mounted on one of the central ribs of one of the caps, for example the rib 62 of the cap 6.
- This accessory comprises a central edge 51 of generally section U-shaped whose concavity is oriented towards the rib 62, so that it can cover this rib by a positioning movement represented by the arrow F 1 in FIG. 4.
- the tabs 52 are arranged in the vicinity of the zones Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 and Z 4 of the module formed by the base 5 and the cover 6, and the geometry of the accessory 50 is such that the tabs 52 are respectively located above the plane of the zones Z 1 to Z 4 , so that it is not possible to pin one of the connectors 101 104 on these zones, because the tabs 52 oppose the introduction of these connectors between the ribs 61 and 62, for the zones Z 1 and Z 3 , or between the rib 62 and the right rib of the cap 6 'for zones Z 2 and Z 4 .
- the branches 52 are positioned in such a way that they do not oppose the operation of flaps 7 of the cap 6.
- the connector 204 comprises a sleeve 205 for receiving the end of a cable 114 'and a fixing part 206 generally perpendicular to the axis of the corresponding sleeve 205, that is to say to the direction of the cable 114' .
- a screw 207 is provided in the fixing part 206 of the connector 204 and its diameter is such that it can cooperate with the internal thread 14 for fixing the connector 204 in the zone Z 4 .
- Connectors 201 to 203 are identical to connector 204.
- the diameter d 206 of the part 206 which is cylindrical is substantially equal to the diameter d 54 , so that when one of the connectors 201 to 204 is in place on one of the zones Z 1 to Z 4 , it substantially fills the opening 54 of the cover 53 in question. There is therefore no danger of accidental electrical contact with one of the bars 1 to 4 through the opening 54 when a connector 201 to 204 is connected, which allows the device to comply with the standard. IP2X.
- This space E is both materialized by accessory 50 and easily identifiable thanks to this accessory.
- Accessory 50 takes advantage of the fact that the connectors 201 to 204 are less bulky than connectors 101 to 104, to the point that the placement of connectors 201 to 204 is not bothered by legs 52, unlike that connectors 101 to 104.
- the accessory 50 is provided with a hollow part 55 suitable to cap a boss 65 of the cap 6 provided with a thread 66 for receiving a screw 56 allowing immobilization of the accessory 50 on the cover 6.
- Each 6, 6 ', 6 "or equivalent cover is equipped with a central rib and a boss similar to boss 65, of so that the accessory 50 can be fitted as desired on any of these headdresses. If necessary, we can create two service directions using two accessories 50 installed on two caps of the device.
- a temporary connection space that is to say a service direction
- an accessory 50 on one of the modules of a device for electrical connection formed by modules consisting of bars 1 to 4, bases 5 and the like and caps 6 and the like, after having lifted the different flaps 7 to allow the different covers 53 to be placed on the zones Z 1 to Z 4 .
- This implementation is reversible since it suffices to unscrew the screw 56 in order to be able to remove the accessory 50 after having opened the flaps 7, for example in the event of a change of destination of the electrical connection device.
- the electrical connection assembly comprising the bars 1 to 4, bases 5 and equivalent, caps 6 and equivalents and accessory 50 therefore allows an operator to whether or not to create a service department in a electrical connection according to the needs of exploitation.
- the accessory 50 is produced in a specific color, for example orange, which is a way mnemonic to remember that it concerns connections temporary.
- the accessory 50 is obtained by molding of material insulating plastic, which allows the covers 53 to realize their electrical insulation function mentioned above.
- the accessory 50 may comprise only one or two bars 52 because these bars are immediately perceived by a professional as meaning that no long-term connection connector of the type of connectors 101 to 104 should only be used in the area.
- the use of four tabs 52 guarantees that it is impossible to connect the connectors 101 to 104 in each of the zones Z 1 to Z 4 of the cover 6 dedicated to the temporary connection.
