Abstract
A multi-phase cross connection link for carrying potential between at least two switching devices modularly connected on a support member, each switching device having connector holders for accepting the potential, includes a conductor rail associated with each phase and disposed in a housing, the housing being made of insulation material and extending in a lengthwise direction. A plurality of tabs is associated with the conductor rail, the tabs extending outward in a comb-like manner in a shared plane perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the housing. The plurality of tabs is arranged next to each other in a sequence having a row distance that corresponds to a first grid distance of the connector holders of the switching device. At least one end, relative to the lengthwise extending, of the cross connection link has incoming contact openings leading to the conductor rail.
