Draw-out power cell disconnect and isolation mechanism with rack-out guide tray

摘要

Methods and integrated apparatus (20) are disclosed for electrically disconnecting and allowing external support and access for electrical devices in a power conversion system cabinet (2). The apparatus (20) includes a support structure (22) that translates a power conversion system component (4) at least partially through a door (6) or other cabinet opening between a first position with the component (4) entirely within the cabinet (2) and a second position with the component (4) supported at least partially outside the cabinet (2), as well as a power disconnect apparatus operated by translation of the support structure to disconnect the component (4) from electrical power when the support is translated from the first position to the second position.
