Switchgear module for installation in a switchgear cabinet and switchgear cabinet including such a switchgear module

A switchgear module for installation in a switchgear, comprising:

• a switchgear module housing, the switchgear module housing including:
• power circuits,
• first electrical power devices, the first electrical power devices comprising breakers, contactors, and motor circuit breakers each configured to supply electric power to an electric load, the electric load comprising an electric motor, and
• circuit components configured to control the first electrical power devices, the circuit components comprising electric control circuits and auxiliary circuits,
• wherein the power circuits and the first electrical power devices are contained in a first power-unit housing forming a first functional power-unit and the circuit components are contained in a separate second control- and auxiliary circuit housing forming a second functional control- and auxiliary circuit unit,
• wherein each of the first functional power-unit and the second functional control and auxiliary circuit unit comprises an interface configured to connect the power circuits and the first electrical power devices contained in the first power-unit housing with the circuit components contained in the second control- and auxiliary circuit housing,
• wherein the interfaces of the first functional power-unit and the second functional control- and auxiliary circuit unit being connected by means of a flexible connecting cable,
• wherein the interfaces and interface the flexible connecting cable, which are used for interconnecting the power circuits and the first electrical power devices contained in the first power-unit housing with the circuit components contained in the second control- and auxiliary circuit housing, are coded, and
• wherein the first functional power-unit is configured to be inserted and removed from the switchgear module housing as one piece, and the second functional control- and auxiliary circuit unit is configured to be handled independently of the first functional power-unit.
