The supporting elements of the switchgear (side walls 1, 2, 10, 11) have a locally set back or recessed profile (profile recesses 3, 4, 12, 13), as a result of which a busbar space (18) is formed which is accessible over its entire length. Busbar supports (40) are constructed in the manner of combs and have cut-outs for the full profile of the busbars (43). The arrangement permits the insertion of the busbars into the busbar space without the pushing through, starting at one end of the switchgear, which was previously required.

Abstract: A flame intensity controller for controlling the air/gas mixture introduced into a conveying and/or mixing chamber (24). Plural heating arrays (106, 108, 110, 112) are transversely aligned to the direction of movement to dry the moving web (W). The controller (128, 130) selectively controls the heating intensity of each section (42) of the heating arrays to thereby control the amount of drying experienced by each longitudinal section of the web. The controller may be a countercurrent air controller (52, 54, 56, 58) or a mechanical restrictor (212). The energy output of each section is controlled between adjustable upper and lower energy levels. However, the lower energy level is preferably chosen to be sufficient to sustain combustion. The independent control of the dryer sections provides dramatic improvement in uniformity of the moisture "profile" across the web.
