Interlock system for a shutter separating a bus bar portion from an electrical component portion of an electrical enclosure

摘要

An electrical enclosure for an electrical component includes a housing having a bus bar portion and an electrical component portion arranged to receive the electrical component. At least one shutter is moveably arranged between the bus bar portion and the electrical component portion. A shutter interlock is arranged in the electrical component portion. The shutter interlock is configured and disposed to prevent the at least one shutter from shifting from a closed position to an open position when the electrical component is absent from the electrical component portion of the housing.
