Embodiment Construction

[0079] figure 1 A schematic front view of an exemplary embodiment of an instrumentation device 1 according to the invention is shown. The instrumentation arrangement comprises a demand meter 2 and a load control module 3 extending along a longitudinal direction X, a transverse direction Y and a height direction Z (which together form a Cartesian coordinate system). The required meter 2 has a meter housing 4 which provides an insulating housing for accommodating the electronic components and conductor connection devices of the required meter 1 .

[0080] The meter housing 4 comprises a main meter cover 5 provided with a front panel 6 comprising a display 7 and controls 8 for monitoring and controlling the functions and operation of the desired meter 2, respectively. Furthermore, the meter housing 4 is provided with a connector part 9 comprising at least one connector 10 in the form of a socket for connecting maintenance and / or control equipment to the required meter 2, enablin...

Abstract

The present invention relates to an ingress protection assembly (100) for leading a wire (150), such as a signal line (31) and / or a supply line (32), in a sealed-up manner through a partition wall (99) of an electrical device. Further, the invention relates to an electrical device comprising an ingress protection assembly (100). The present invention provides a wire lead-through protected against ingress in a cost-effective and efficient manner without compromising the ingress protection with regard to safety, security and / or technical requirements in that the ingress protection assembly (100) comprises a first wall section (110) provided with a receiving slot (111) extending through the first wall section (110) in a lead-through direction (B) and opening at an inlet (112, 122, 132) facing in an assembly direction (A) of the ingress protection assembly (100); and a second wall section (120) provided with a counter slot (121, 131) extending through the second wall section (120) in the lead-through direction (B) and opening at a counter inlet (112, 122, 132) facing against the assembly direction (A), wherein at least in a fully assembled state (F) of the ingress protection assembly (100), the first wall section (110) and the second wall section (120) are at least partially superimposed in a projection along the lead- through direction (B) such that the receiving slot (111) and the counter slot (121, 131) together form an aperture (160) configured for tightly encompassing the wire (150).

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an ingress protection assembly for electrical equipment such as a meter, and to electrical equipment such as an instrumentation device comprising the ingress protection assembly. Background technique [0002] Electrical devices such as utility meters, for example electricity meters, are known from the prior art and are used to determine the consumption of media such as water or gas or the consumption of supplied electrical energy. In order to connect the meter to a power source or an electrical energy source to be supplied and metered, the meter includes a conductor connection device comprising terminals configured to receive the bare ends of the wires delivering the electrical energy. For measuring consumption and for communicating via wired and wireless connections, it is necessary for the meter to include circuitry, for example arranged on and as a printed circuit board. In addition, the required devices comprise control elements such...
