Abstract

A front cover for a module of a modular drive system includes two intermediate circuit conductor rails arranged in stepped relationship, two supply conductor rails, and a pivotable, engageable hood. Each intermediate circuit conductor rail includes a connection bracket, which is fixed on one end, and a contact screw. The supply conductor rails are provided with a removable connection plug, and the pivotable hood is arranged in such a way that the conductor rails can be covered and the front side of the hood is flush with the cover in the engaged state. In this way, an essentially more compact structure can be achieved, which is also less prone to interference from EMC influences, and in which a supply voltage as well as the intermediate circuit conductor rails are looped.
