Abstract:
1. An electrical enclosure for enclosing one or more associated electrical components, the enclosure comprising: a shell having an interior volume for housing at least one electrical component; a door for enclosing an opening to the interior volume; a support structure mounted in the shell for supporting an associated electrical component, the support structure having a moveable member movable between a first position corresponding to a connected state of the associated electrical component, and a second position corresponding to a disconnected state of the associated electrical component; and an actuating mechanism for selectively moving the moveable member of the support structure, the actuating mechanism having a handle protruding from the interior volume to an exterior of the shell for actuation with the door in a closed position; whereby movement of the handle between first and second positions results in corresponding movement of the moveable member of the support structure between its first and second positions to connect or disconnect the associated electrical component; and further comprising a component connector assembly for connecting an electrical component to a control network, wherein the moveable member of the support structure is movable to a third position between the first and second positions corresponding to engagement of the component connector assembly and connection of the associated electrical component to a control network and a disconnected state of the associated electrical component.
