Abstract

An electrical plug-in device (4a..4d) for a panelboard (1) is disclosed, wherein the panelboard (1) comprises an insulating enclosure (5) with recesses (6) arranged in a matrix and wherein the electrical plug-in device (4a..4d) provides mechanical and electrical connection between the panelboard (1) and a switching device (7). Insulating contact covers (11a, 11b) or contact cover pairs (12) of the electrical plugin device (4a..4d) are designed to reach through the recesses (6) and are arranged along a center line (D). A distance (yi, y2) between said center line (D) and a boundary plane (E, F) of the electrical plug-in device (4a..4d) parallel to said center line (D) equals half a pitch (x) of the recesses (6) or is an integer multiple of said half of said pitch (x). Furthermore, a panelboard (1) with such an electrical plug-in device (4a..4d) is disclosed.

Claims (13)

1. Electrical plug-in device (4a..4d) for a panelboard (1 ), a) wherein the panelboard (1 ) comprises an insulating enclosure (5) with recesses (6) arranged in a matrix and fulfilling at least the standard I EC 60529 IP2X and b) wherein the electrical plug-in device (4a..4d) comprises a first portion adapted to provide mechanical and electrical connection between the electrical plug-in device (4a..4d) and the panelboard (1 ) and a second portion adapted to provide mechanical and electrical connection between the electrical plug-in device (4a..4d) and a switching device (7), characterized in that the first portion comprises a number of insulating contact covers (1 1 a, 1 1 b) or contact cover pairs (12) being designed to reach through the recesses (6) of the insulating enclosure (5) of the panelboard (1 ) and being arranged along a center line (D) of the electrical plug-in device (4a..4d), wherein a distance (yi, y2) between said center line (D) and a boundary plane (E, F) of the electrical plug-in device (4a..4d) parallel to said center line (D) equals half a pitch (x) of the recesses (6) in the insulating enclosure (5) of the panelboard (1 ) or is an integer multiple of said half of the pitch (x) of said recesses (6).
2. Electrical plug-in device (4a..4d) as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that, a first distance (yi) between said center line (D) and a first boundary plane (E) of the electrical plug-in device (4a..4d) parallel to said center line (D) equals half the pitch (x) of the lead through recesses (6) in the insulating enclosure (5) of the panelboard (1 ) or is an integer multiple of said half of the pitch (x) of said recesses (6) and a second distance (y2) between said center line (D) and a second boundary plane (F) of the electrical plug-in device (4a..4d) which is parallel to first boundary plane (E) equals half the pitch (x) of the lead through recesses (6) in the insulating enclosure (5) of the panelboard (1 ) or is an integer multiple of said half of the pitch (x) of said recesses (6).
