LOW VOLTAGE POWER RECEPTACLE FOR MODULAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

摘要

A low voltage power receptacle assembly is provided for use in a modular electrical system. The receptacle assembly includes a housing that defines an internal cavity for receiving and protecting various high and low voltage electrical components, and for providing convenient access to low voltage power outlets associated therewith. The receptacle assembly houses at least two electrical bus bars that are spaced apart and that conduct line voltage received from a relatively high voltage power input. A low voltage transformer has at least two electrical contacts for engaging the electrical bus bars, and is operable to convert the line voltage to a lower output voltage at the power outlets. An isolator body has a non-conductive wall positioned between the electrical bus bars to maintain electrical isolation thereof.

1. A low voltage power receptacle assembly for use in a modular electrical system, said low voltage power receptacle assembly comprising:
a housing defining a cavity; at least two electrical bus bars in spaced arrangement and extending through said cavity of said housing, said electrical bus bars configured to conduct a line voltage received from a power input, wherein an elongate space is defined between said electrical bus bars; a low voltage transformer including at least two electrical contacts and a low voltage power receptacle, wherein said electrical contacts are configured to engage respective ones of said electrical bus bars, and wherein said low voltage transformer is operable to transform the line voltage received at said electrical contacts to a lower voltage output at said low voltage power receptacle; and an isolator body configured to be received in said cavity of said housing, said isolator body comprising an elongate non-conductive wall disposed between said electrical bus bars.
