The powerway enclosures can be extended with up to two control compartments (installation at top and bottom).
powerway enclosures and components U-PWE/U-PWK 03.09.09 Cross-connection space/auxiliary circuit wiring Cross-connection space/auxiliary circuit wiring The auxiliary circuit wiring/cross-wiring is contained inside the enclosure: – in plastic pipes (KIR, KRH), – in plastic cable conduits/grid conduits. The optional auxiliary power wiring/cross-wiring on the enclosure roof is contained within a metal cab- le conduit (on a pre-perforated cover plate).

powerway enclosures and components U-PWE/U-PWK Cross-wiring in the enclosure Front Side – The vertical auxiliary circuit can be routed along the supports (on the left and right of the device com- partment) depending on the enclosure design. – The horizontal circuit can be routed above and below the ACB. It is also possible to connect the auxili- ary circuit from the switch/circuit breaker to the terminals at the top and bottom of the enclosure.
