INTERFACE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONNECTING PLUG-IN UNITS TO A BUSWAY

摘要

An interface apparatus (20) is configured to be mechanically secured and electrically coupled to a busway (10). The interface apparatus includes a housing (26) configured to mate with the busway and a plug-in interface (40) coupled to the housing. The plug-in interface is configured to receive a plug-in unit (22). The interface apparatus further includes an electrical coupling assembly (46) coupled to the housing and configured to move between an uncoupled position in which the plug-in interface is uncoupled to the busway and a coupled position in which the plug-in interface is electrically coupled to the busway. The interface apparatus further includes an actuator assembly (48) coupled to the housing and the electrical coupling assembly. The actuator assembly is configured to move the electrical coupling assembly between the uncoupled and coupled positions and to secure the plug-in unit to the housing.
