Abstract:

A support assembly is provided for an electrical enclosure including a housing having first and second opposing sides, electrical bus members, and at least one electrical switching apparatus, such as a circuit breaker. Each of the electrical bus members is electrically connectable to a corresponding one of the circuit breakers. The support assembly includes at least one support member having first and second opposing ends, first and second opposing edges, and a plurality of apertures extending from the first edge toward the second edge and receiving the electrical bus members. A fastener assembly supports the support member(s) between the first and second sides of the housing. Each support member extends only a portion of the width between the first and second sides of the housing, and supports the electrical bus members, without being attached to the housing at a location between the first and second sides thereof.

International Classification:

H02B 13/02

US Classification:

361614

Abstract:

An electrical bus assembly for an electrical enclosure includes a single branch circuit with a plurality of branch circuit buses. First electrical bus members include first ends electrically connected to corresponding branch circuit buses, and second ends electrically connected to a first circuit breaker. Second electrical bus members include first ends electrically connected to corresponding branch circuit buses, and second ends electrically connected to a second circuit breaker. The single branch circuit provides electrical power to the first and second circuit breakers. The first electrical bus members extend in a first lateral direction with respect to the branch circuit buses, and the second electrical bus members extend in a second, opposite lateral direction. The electrical bus assembly enables the first circuit breaker to be disposed horizontally adjacent to the second circuit breaker within a corresponding one of the cells of the electrical enclosure.
