Abstract
A wireless raceway (100) employs bus bars (121), instead of cabling or other types of wires. The raceway (100) includes a pair of junction blocks (102). A bus bar assembly (116) holds the individual bus bars (121). The raceway (100) also includes a pair of modified H-terminals (122) having a central bus bar terminal (124) connected to each of a pair of receptacle terminals (126). The modified H-terminals (122) connect the individual bus bars (121) to external electrical assemblies through the junction blocks (102) without the need of wires or cables.
Claims3
A raceway is adapted for use to supply and transfer electrical power, said raceway comprising:
- at least a pair of junction blocks, each junction block adapted to supply power to one or more receptacle blocks which may be electrically engaged with said junction blocks;
- a bus bar set comprising a plurality of bus bars, with opposing ends of the bus bars extending to each of said junction blocks;
- a pair of terminal element sets, each of said terminal element sets being positioned at an opposing end of each of said bus bars, said terminal element sets comprise:
- first terminal means electrically connected to an end of a corresponding one of said bus bars;
- second terminal means electrically engaged with said first terminal means, for electrically engaging said bus bars with external electrical means;
- and
- third terminal means electrically connected to first terminal means, for electrically engaging said bus bars with said receptacle blocks.
A raceway is adapted for use to supply and transfer electrical power, said raceway comprising:
- at least one junction block, said junction block adapted to supply power to one or more receptacle blocks which may be electrically engaged with said junction block;
- a bus bar set comprising a plurality of bus bars;
- a terminal element set positioned at one end of said bus bars, said terminal element set comprising:
- first terminal means connected to one end of each of said bus bars;
- second terminal means for electrically connecting said bus bars to a second set of said bus bars;
- an external cable assembly, having a set of cables with a set of slide terminals or adjustable connectors at the ends thereof;
- and
- a second set of bus bars, having one set of ends of said second set of bus bars being electrically connected to said second terminal means, and an opposing set of ends of said second set of bus bars being electrically connected to said slide terminals, so that each of said second set of bus bars is in an adjustable, electrical and sliding engagement with corresponding ones of said slide terminals.
