- the height of this assembly is greater than the height of the 2.2’ modular electrical appliance. The length of this assembly remains equal to the length of the modular electrical appliance 2.2’.
- Figure 32 shows an unassembled neutral distribution bar 43 with the connection module 1' and neutral conductors 46 connected and arranged perpendicular to it.
- Figure 33 shows the neutral distribution bar 43 electrically connected to the connection module 1 'by one of the neutral conductors 46 which is connected to the connection module 1' by insertion into the window 27 and by pinching the connection clamp 17.
- Figure 34 shows three phase distribution bars 44 unassembled with the connection module 1 'and phase conductors 45 connected and arranged perpendicular to one of these
- Figure 35 shows that three phase conductors 45 are connected to the three second input connection terminals 3 by insertion into the three fourth windows 40 giving access to the three second input connection terminals 3.
- Figure 36 shows the three phase conductors 45 connected to the three second input connection terminals 3 and one of the neutral conductors 46 which is connected to the first input connection terminal 16 of the connection module 1 '
- the invention also relates to the connection module 1, 1 'for said assembly according to the invention and as described previously.
- connection module 1, 1 ' is characterized in that it comprises:
- the second housing 1 1 comprising at least said mounting interface 12 and said connection face 13,
- connection terminal 14 configured to be electrically connected to the first line, preferably neutral, by the electrical conduction means 15,
- the first input connection terminal 16 being configured to be located on the first connection level N1, N1 'distant from the second connection level N2, N2' by a height h1 and comprising a connection clamp 17 arranged inside the second housing 11 and opening onto said connection face 13, the connection clamp 17 being electrically connected to the connection terminal 14,
- the second housing 1 1 being configured to be mounted and attached to the first housing 4 of said modular electrical appliance 2, 2' in an assembled position PA so that the first input connection terminal 16 is located on a first connection level N1, N1' distant from the second connection level N2, N2' by a height h1, and the connection face 13 is substantially parallel to the left face 9 while being offset by a distance d1 in one direction of offset DD1 perpendicular to the left face 9 and/or that the connection face 13 extends the left face 9 by a distance d2 in an offset direction DD2 perpendicular to the rear face 7.
