Estimating the term…
A switching and/or distributing device has at least one receiving housing and a housing cover. Arranged in at least one housing rail region are one or a plurality of power distribution rails which extend substantially in a main plane and are connected to sub-distribution rails. In at least a first plane, said sub-distribution rails extend substantially in parallel to the main plane and are electrically insulated from one another and extend in the direction of at least one housing component region, wherein in the housing component region, in particular modular components, which contain electrical/electronic operating means, are in electrical contact with one sub-distribution rail each. As a result, a switching and/or distributing device is improved in such a way that the arrangement of corresponding components is possible easily without much additional effort even in potentially explosive atmospheres and a plurality of components of different ty pes and of different sizes can be arranged at the same time.
A switching and/or distributing device with at least one receiving housing and a housing cover, wherein in at least one housing rail region, a plurality of power distribution rails are arranged, which substantially extend in a main plane and are connected to first sub-distribution rails, which in the at least one housing rail region extend in a first plane substantially in parallel to the main plane, and second sub-distribution rails, which in the at least one housing rail region extend in a second plane substantially in parallel to the main plane, wherein the second plane is offset from the first plane, wherein the first and second sub-distribution rails are electrically insulated from one another and extend in a direction of at least one housing component region, wherein in the at least one housing component region, modular components, which contain an electrical/electronic operating means, are in electrical contact with one of the first and second sub-distribution rails, and wherein the first and second sub-distribution rails are changed in their course before or after reaching the at least one housing component region to run in a common plane.
