Abstract
In an example, a system, a method and/or an apparatus are provided. A first power distribution component and a second power distribution component are connected to a busway system including a busway. Whether first electrical power of the first power distribution component and second electrical power of the second power distribution component meet one or more conditions is determined. In response to a condition of the one or more conditions not being met, supply of electrical power from the second power distribution component to the busway system is inhibited.
Claims20
An electrical distribution system comprising:
- a first power distribution component connected to a first isolation switch of a busway system comprising a busway;
- a second power distribution component connected to a second isolation switch of the busway system;
- and
- an interlock system configured to:
- determine whether first electrical power of the first power distribution component and second electrical power of the second power distribution component meet one or more conditions;
- when the one or more conditions are met, allow supply of electrical power from the first power distribution component to the busway system via the first isolation switch and allow supply of electrical power from the second power distribution component to the busway system via the second isolation switch;
- in response to a condition of the one or more conditions not being met, inhibit supply of electrical power from the first power distribution component to the busway system via the first isolation switch;
- and
- in response to a second condition of the one or more conditions not being met, inhibit supply of electrical power from the second power distribution component to the busway system via the second isolation switch.

A method, comprising:
- determining whether first electrical power of a first power distribution component and second electrical power of a second power distribution component meet one or more conditions, wherein the first power distribution component and the second power distribution component are connected to a busway system comprising a busway;
- in response to a condition of the one or more conditions not being met, inhibiting supply of electrical power from the second power distribution component to the busway system,
- wherein:
- the inhibiting supply of electrical power from the second power distribution component to the busway system comprises inhibiting a switch from being transferred from an open state to a closed state;
- a first side of the switch is connected to a circuit of the second power distribution component;
- and
- a second side of the switch is connected to the busway system;
- and
- at least one of:
- the method comprises:
- in response to the one or more conditions being met, allowing, using an interlock device, access to operate the switch;
- or
- in response to a condition of the one or more conditions not being met, blocking, using the interlock device, access to operate the switch;
- or
- the method comprises at least one of:
- allowing removal of a key from a key release unit in response to the one or more conditions being met;
- or
- inhibiting removal of the key from the key release unit in response to a condition of the one or more conditions not being met,
- wherein:
- the key is configured to operate at least one of a first key interlock device associated with a second switch or a second key interlock device associated with the switch;
- a first side of the second switch is connected to a second circuit of the first power distribution component;
- and
- a second side of the second switch is connected to the busway system.
