BUSWAY TAP-OFF BASE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A busway tap-off base assembly (10) includes a base (38) of insulating material and a pivotally attached door (42). A seal (34) is placed on the busway housing around the tap-off opening. The base is slidably received in the busway tap-off opening (30) such that the seal is compressed. The base has an outside surface which includes a number of access openings (110) to electrical conductors within the busway housing. The door has a flange (130) around its perimeter and a sealing rib (134) which extends outward from the inside surface of the door. In the closed position the flange overlaps an edge portion of the base and the sealing ribs are pressed against a gasket (122) in the planar outside surface of the base sealing the access openings and preventing the ingress of dust and liquids into the busway housing.
