Description

  The present invention relates to a distribution board in which branch breakers can be added without using a large cabinet.

From the viewpoint of safety and security, the distribution board houses the main and branch breakers in the cabinet, but in addition to using a cabinet of a certain size with space for branch breaker expansion in anticipation of circuit expansion It is normal to install a main bar with an extra length part for connecting to the primary side terminal of the extension breaker in advance.
However, using a cabinet with additional space for branch breakers is an extra cost for the initial investment by using an extra-sized cabinet with high manufacturing cost if no additional circuit is required. It is.

  As a distribution board that solves this problem, the main length that connects the primary side terminal to the extension branch breaker when adding the branch breaker is eliminated by eliminating the extra length part for connecting to the primary side terminal of the extension breaker. A device in which an extended portion of a bar is formed is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

However, although the thing of above-mentioned patent document 1 solves the problem about the extra length part of the main bar connected with the primary side terminal of the extension branch breaker, the extension of a circuit is predicted and branch breaker The problem of having to prepare a large cabinet with extra space remained.
