Abstract
Disclosed is a busbar tapping clamp (10) comprising a clamping member (16) that can be attached to a busbar (12) like a G-clamp, and sprung means (34) for bringing a conductor (32), which extends to the busbar tapping clamp (10), into electroconductive contact with the clamping member (16).
Claims14
A busbar tapping clamp (10) comprising:
- a housing,
- a busbar clamping member (16) that is situated in the housing (14), comprising a hook-shaped extension (18) within the housing, which is a part of a clamping device (18, 22) which electroconductively contacts a busbar (12), and which mechanically fixes the busbar tapping clamp (10) to the busbar (12) using the extension (18) of the busbar clamping member (16) as a stop,
- a conductor contacting spring member (34) within the housing (14) for electroconductively contacting a conductor (32) inserted into the housing (14), into electroconductive contact with the busbar clamping member (16), using clamping spring technology, and
- wherein the housing (14) is an at least two-part housing (14) comprising an inner housing part (40) and an outer housing part (42) that accommodates the inner housing part (40),
- wherein the housing (14) and the busbar clamping member (16) comprise a clamping member retaining structure (44, 46) defined between the inner housing part (40) and the busbar clamping member (16) to engage the inner housing part (40), the conductor contacting spring member (34) and the busbar clamping member (16) so to define a relative position of the housing (14), the busbar clamping member (16), and the, or each, conductor contacting spring member (34) for electroconductively contacting a conductor (32).
