Abstract
An adapter device (1; 201; 401; 501) for housing a multi-phase low voltage type switch (2) inside a switchboard (100), comprising, for each phase: first and second electric connection means (31, 32) with the switch (2); third and fourth electric connection means (33, 34) with an electric distribution network (4); the adapter device (1; 201; 401; 501) is structured so as to define a connection area (10) housing the first and second electric connection means (31, 32), and also comprising heat removal means (5; 205; 405; 505) which remove heat from the connection area (10).
Claims15
An adapter device for housing a multi-phase low voltage type switch inside a switchboard, said adapter device comprising:
- for each phase, first and second electric connectors with said switch and third and fourth electric connectors with an electric distribution network,
- said adapter device being structured so as to define a connection area, housing said first and second electric connectors, and
- said adapter device also comprising heat removal device adapted to remove heat from said connection area,
- wherein said connection area is divided into a plurality of compartments mutually separated between different phases, each of said compartments acting as a convection channel for a corresponding phase.
An adapter device for housing a multi-phase low voltage type switch inside a switchboard, said adapter device comprising:
- for each phase, first and second electric connectors with said switch and third and fourth electric connectors with an electric distribution network,
- said adapter device being structured so as to define a connection area, said connection area being divided into a plurality of compartments mutually separated between different phases, each of the compartments being configured to house at least one pair of said first and second electric connectors of a corresponding phase, and
- each compartment including at least one heat removal device adapted to remove heat from said compartment,
- wherein each of said compartments acts as a convection channel for a corresponding phase to channel heat as induced by the at least one heat removal device.
