==Electrical System and Electrical Apparatus for Bus Plugs with Rotary Handle - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17993927 titled 'Electrical System and Electrical Apparatus for Bus Plugs with Rotary Handle

==Simplified Explanation==

The present disclosure describes an electrical system and apparatus with a flexible interlock mechanism for operating an electrical device in an enclosure. The system includes an interlock slider, actuating system, and a flexible mechanical interlock assembly.

* The electrical system includes an interlock mechanism with an interlock slider that engages the enclosure with a busway structure.
* The actuating system on the enclosure door controls the interlock mechanism using a cam assembly.
* A flexible mechanical interlock assembly connects the cam assembly to the interlock mechanism using a push-pull cable with connecting elements.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology described in this patent application could be applied in various industries where electrical devices need to be securely operated within enclosures. This could include industrial manufacturing, power distribution, and data centers.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of safely operating electrical devices within enclosures by providing a flexible interlock mechanism that ensures proper engagement with the busway structure. It also prevents unauthorized access to the electrical system.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include increased safety, reliability, and security in operating electrical devices within enclosures. The flexible interlock mechanism allows for easy and secure operation of the electrical system.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
A potential commercial application of this technology could be in the manufacturing and installation of electrical enclosures for various industries. Companies that specialize in electrical systems and equipment could benefit from incorporating this flexible interlock mechanism into their products.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing interlock mechanisms used in electrical enclosures. However, the specific design of a flexible mechanical interlock assembly with a push-pull cable may be a novel feature in this patent application.

=== Unanswered Questions ===
