Abstract
Embodiments of a plug-in unit for an electrical enclosure are disclosed. The plug-in unit includes at least one stab configured to engage a bus, a stab shaft coupled with a base of the at least one stab, and a stab translation mechanism configured to translate the stab shaft such that the at least one stab translates from a retracted position to an extended position.
Claims20
A motor control center (MCC) plug-in unit, comprising:
- at least one stab configured to engage a bus;
- a stab shaft coupled with a base of the at least one stab;
- and
- a stab translation mechanism configured to rotate the stab shaft about an axis of the stab shaft such that the at least one stab rotationally transitions from a retracted position to an extended position.
