AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing switching devices for busbar systems face challenges in minimizing width while adhering to strict safety regulations, such as clearance and creepage distances, as specified in standards like UL 98.
Method used
A switching device with a housing comprising an upper and lower part, featuring at least two fuse-receiving spaces arranged in a row, and an electrically insulating intermediate part bonded to the housing via a substance-to-substance bond, which enhances clearance and creepage distances without increasing width.
Benefits of technology
The solution allows for a significantly reduced width of the switching device while meeting all safety requirements, enabling more devices to be mounted on a busbar system within a given space.
