Systems and techniques for monitoring critical electrical distribution systems in a manner that provides an early visible indication of deteriorating electrical connections in the critical electrical distribution system.

Monitoring system for critical electrical distribution systems

A scalable power tap off system is provided for a power distribution system. The system can have components including a line-side connector assembly for connecting to an upstream power supply, a load-side connector assembly for connecting to downstream load(s), and a draw-out circuit breaker assembly connected between the line-side and load-side connector assemblies. The system also includes a shutter assembly having a movable shutter for proving a barrier to prevent access to at least line-side electrical components on the breaker assembly when the breaker assembly is in the racked-out state, and insulated interconnect buses for electrically connecting the line-side connector assembly and the load-side connector assembly to the breaker assembly. An enclosed compartment is provided to house the load-side connector assembly in isolation from other components and allows access to the load-side connector assembly when the breaker assembly is in a racked-out state or the load-side connector assembly is de-energized.
