Abstract

A frame support for a rack or a switchgear cabinet, having an electrification arrangement combined with at least one frame leg or profiled mounting element for supplying and/or removing electrical current to or from devices which can be connected with the frame support. Simple and definite electrical connecting possibilities for electrical devices are accomplished with the electrification arrangement having at least one separate electrification strip attached to a frame leg or profiled mounting element which is formed by a hollow profiled receiving element and is at least partially open on a long side and in at least one hollow space of the profiled receiving element contact rails or connection lines are installed in a manner protected against electric shock. Inserts are provided, which are inserted or can be inserted into the electrification strip and have plug receivers protected against electric shock for device plugs of the devices to be connected, as well as contact elements which are or can be brought into electrical contact with the contact rails.
