CA 2206842

A low voltage power supply and distribution center comprises a housing (12) having three internal compartments including: a high voltage compartment (17), a low voltage distribution compartment (19), and a transformer compartment (21). The housing (12) is designed for surface or recessed mounting on or in a wall or ceiling. For recessed mounting, with the housing (12) surrounded with 20 cm (8 inches) of insulation, the maximum surface temperature of the housing is less than 90 ~C. The three compartments (17, 19, 21) are formed by a removable power tray (15) having a toroidal transformer (132) mounted thereon. The low voltage compartment (19) comprises a fuse panel (150) for mounting a plurality of plug-in fuses (153) from which the low voltage power is distributed. The high voltage compartment (17) comprises a switch or a dimmer (131) in a high voltage line between the transformer (132) and the incoming high voltage line, or the dimmer or switch may be remotely installed on a wall. An optional choke (133) may be provided in the high voltage compartment (17) for use with a dimmer. Additionally, a primary current protection circuit (135) may be provided to add additional protection for over current conditions. A mounting cover (54) is provided to cover the housing (12) to provide a more refined appearance, and vent holes (60) are provided in the cover (54) in the area of the transformer (132). The low voltage power supply and distribution center may be used for a National Electrical Code (NEC) class 1 and/or a class 2 wiring installation.

Poste amélioré d'alimentation et de distribution électrique basse tension qui comporte un boîtier (12) doté de trois compartiments internes comportant un compartiment (17) à haute tension, un compartiment (19) de distribution basse tension et un compartiment (21) transformateur. Le boîtier est conçu pour être monté en surface sur un mur ou un plafond ou encastré. Pour le montage encastré, le boîtier (12) étant entouré d'une isolation de 20 cm (8 pouces), la température de surface maximale du boîtier est inférieure à 90 ~C. Les trois compartiments (17, 19, 21) sont formés par un plateau (15) de puissance amovible sur lequel est monté un transformateur (132) toroïdal. Le compartiment basse tension (19) comporte un panneau (150) de fusibles destiné au montage d'une pluralité de fusibles (153) enfichables à partir desquels le courant basse tension est distribué. Le compartiment haute tension (17) comporte un commutateur ou variateur (131) situé sur une ligne haute tension entre le transformateur (132) et la ligne haute tension entrante, ledit commutateur ou variateur pouvant être monté amovible sur un mur. Le compartiment haute tension (17) peut comporter éventuellement une bobine d'arrêt (133) à utiliser avec un variateur. En outre, un circuit primaire de protection (135) peut constituer une protection supplémentaire en cas de surcharge. Un couvercle (54) est destiné à couvrir le boîtier (12) afin de lui donner une apparence plus esthétique et des trous d'aération (60) sont ménagés dans le couvercle (54) dans la zone du transformateur (132). Ledit poste amélioré d'alimentation et de distribution basse tension peut être utilisé pour une installation de câblage de classe 1 et/ou de classe 2 selon les normes NEC.
