Definitions
- the invention relates to an earthing system for apparatus cabinets containing electrical equipment in accordance with the preamble to the following indepen ⁇ dent claim.
- One kind of earth connection used so far comprises conductors with cable shoes placed between the apparatus and their stand, the shoes being screwed to the apparatus and to the stand.
- Another kind of earth connection is a serrated washer placed between the apparatus casing and the plates of the stand. A fastening screw which fastens the apparatus to the stand is taken through this serrated washer.
- An example of such a contact means is described in SE - C- 7509869 * 9 (387201).
- Figure 1 illustrates two apparatus cabinets with bars
- Figure 2 illustrates a junction point between a vertical and horizontal bar
- Figure 3 and 4 illustrate a spring-biased contact plate
- Figure 5 illustrates a contact plate inserted in an intersection point between bars
- Figure 6 illustrates a connection bar between horizontal bars.
- Two appartus cabinets 1 are' illustrated as .an example in Figure 1, each containing two vertical bars 2 and two horzontal bars 3. Each vertical bar 2 is bent inwards at right angles at each end, and in each cabinet there is an unillustrated connection terminal arranged on one of the bent-in parts for connecting an earth conductor. Any of the four bent-in parts may be used for connecting the earth conductor.
- a contact plate 4 is disposed, as illustrated in Figure 2, at an intersection point between one of the vertical bars 2, and one of the horizontal bars 3.
- the vertical bar 2 has a rectangular cross section and is attached to the side wall of the apparatus cabinet with unillustrated fastening screws, while the horizontal bar 3, which is carried by a surrounding plate 5, is fastened to the apparatus cabinet with other fastening screws and pressed against the narrow edge of the vertical bar.
- the contact plate 4 has a rectangular shape, punched out from sheet metal, and is provided with a plurality of contact tongues, four in the example, which are punched out in a row along the centre line of the plate and alternatingly bent out of the plane of the plate so that there is formed a total of eight contact-making edges 7.
- the edges 7 are right- angular and sharp to give good electrical contact against the bars.
- a small part of the short ends 8 of the contact plate is somewhat bent out from one face of the plate to form retaining flanges.
- the material in the contact plate 4 is tin bronze and is tinned, whereby the plate will give durable electrical contact against the aluminium bars without the danger of corrosion needing to be considered.
- the contact plate may be made from some other similar material, e.g. beryllium copper.
- the contact plate 4 is inserted in an opening in the plate 5 and is there pressed between the vertical bar 2 and the horizontal bar 3.
- the retaining flanges 8 of the contact plate are urged against the edges in the opening of the plate 5 so that the contact plate will be prevented from falling out during assembly, and the contact tongues 6 are bent such that the thickness of the contact plate measured over the edges 7 is greater than the space between both bars, such that the contact edges will engage against the bars with a continuous pressure after insertion. Since the contact plate 4 is disposed in the plate 5 the contact tongues 6 are prevented from being completely pressed together.
- connection bar 11 for connecting the horizontal bars 3 in side-by-side apparatus cabinets.
- the material in the connection bar 11 is aluminium and its cross section is substantially rectangular with two low outstanding edges on one of the wide sides of the bar, so that its cross section has the form of a shallow U.
- two nodules 12 are pressed into the bar along its centre line in the same direction as that of the edges of the bar.
- the nodules and the edges of the bar are adapted to give retention of the previously described contact plate 4, there being one contact plate at either end of the bar 11.
- the horizontal bar 3 is provided with a longitudinal groove 13 with a width and depth suited to the reception of the connection bar 11 with its accompanying plate 4 in the manner illustrated by a curved arrow in Figure 6.
- the thickness of the horizontal bar 3 is adjusted in relation to the width of the groove 13 so that the contact tongues on the contact plate 4 are prevented from being completely pressed together.
- the apparatus cabinet 1 is provided with a plurality of unillustrated openings at different heights in the side walls of the cabinets.
- the horizontal bars 3 and indirectly the vertical bars 2 also, in two or more cabinets are electrically connected to each other with one or more connection bar 11, whereby occurring earth currents are effectively spread in the bars and are led away to the earth conductors connected to each cabinet, so that occuring potential rises are limited to a value which is not dangerous.
- Electronic apparatus placed in the apparatus cabinet 1 are each provided with an earth conductor intended for connection to one of the horzontal bars 3, preferably with a connection means of the kind described in SE-C-7509890-5 (387480) and which is intended for fastening by a screw, screwed into the groove 13 of the horizontal bar.
