Abstract:
A modular electrical apparatus for controlling and monitoring operations, comprising:(a) at least one connection module (M) for mounting on a carrier rail and having a plurality of connection levels for the connection of external conductors, said module including a plurality of disk-shaped base terminal carriers (2) arranged in series and including at least one bus bar (SM, SP, SSI); (b) an internal bus conductor (BUS) and a plurality of power supply elements (PF+, PFâˆ’, PE) for positive, negative, and ground potential arranged within each module and extending parallel to the rail, said power supply elements being connected with said connection levels via said bus bars; and (c) said bus bars extending between said power supply elements and said connection levels on opposite sides of said base terminal carrier, with connections to be supplied by a common potential being connected directly with each other to form multiple connections, thereby to minimize the space requirements of the module.
