Abstract: An electrical connector installation tool including a frame and a screw ram. The frame includes a front end having an anvil section adapted to contact a front end of an electrical wedge connector shell, and a rear end having a threaded aperture. The screw ram has a front end, a rear end and a middle section. The front end is adapted to contact a rear end of an electrical wedge connector wedge. The middle section includes a threaded section which is connected to the threaded aperture of the frame to allow the screw ram to be screwed into the frame and thereby move the front end of the screw ram towards the anvil section.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus. The apparatus includes a first body, a second body, and an electronic circuit. The first body includes a first end, a second end, and a middle section. The first body further includes a first conductor receiving area and a recessed cavity. The first receiving area extends from the first end to the second end. The cavity is at the middle section. The second body is adapted to be removably connected to the first body. The second body includes a first end, a second end, and a second conductor receiving area. The second conductor receiving area extends from the first end to the second end. The apparatus is adapted to receive an electrical conductor between the first receiving area and the second receiving area. The electronic circuit is at the cavity. The electronic circuit is configured to receive reference information corresponding to the electrical conductor.

Abstract: An electrical connector that can be compressed onto a composite transmission line without causing catastrophic damage to the non-metal/steel core. The electrical connector comprises a sleeve and a compression regulator that limits compression of the sleeve.

Abstract: An in-line electrical conductor switch including a frame, an electrical connection section movably connected to the frame, and a rotational stability device. The frame includes first and second connection sections insulated from each other by an electrical isolation section. The first and second connection sections are configured to connect to respective ends of first and second electrical conductors. The switch is entirely supported by the first and second electrical conductors. The electrical connection section is movably connected to the frame between a first connected position and a second disconnected position. The rotational stability device is connected to the frame and adapted to reduce or prevent rotation of the frame about an axis through the ends of the electrical conductors during movement of the electrical connection section to the second disconnected position.

Abstract: A utility pole grounding plate including a main section and a plurality of flaps. The main section has a general plate shape adapted to be connected around an outer curved surface of a utility pole. The flaps extend outward from an exterior side of the main section. The flaps are formed by material cut and bent from the main section such that the flaps are integral with the main section. The main section has apertures corresponding to the cut and bent material of the flaps.
