摘要

Electrical connection means comprising a busway tap-off entry (11), to facilitate connection and disconnection of a tap-off box thereat. The entry (11) includes a manually openable slidable cover (15) normally locked in its closed position and locking means (18) arranged to be disengaged upon mechanical location of a tap-off box onto the top of the busway (10) above the entry (11) to enable manual opening of the slidable cover (15) and electrical connection of the tap-off box with the busway tap-off entry (11). The locking means may comprise a spring loaded release mechanism (18) having a levered catch (19b) normally spring urged into engagement with the slidable cover (15) when in its locked and closed position. An attached lever arm (19) is provided for engagement mechanically by a tap-off box to cause disengagement of said levered catch (19b) from the slidable cover (15).
