  • Publication number: 20120161597
    Abstract: A workstation has a first side and a second side both of which having slats disposed thereon are connected by a hinge. The first side has a plurality of openings therein. The slats create an overhang and an underhang into which a connector fits. A first accessory attaches to a connector for fitting into the underhang or the overhang in the first side or the second side. A second accessory attaches to the first side.

  • Patent number: 5488199
    Abstract: An electrical-stress-controlled solid dielectric cable termination assembly having an electrical stress control device which comprises a metal conductor suitably shaped to achieve an electrical stress control function. A durable material having a high dielectric strength is applied as a coating to the exposed surfaces of the conductor. The coating prevents conductive particles or contaminants which may be present in an insulating fluid medium from directly contacting the stress control device. Even if such particles are attracted to the device, the particles will float at the prevailing electrical potential in the region and will therefore not cause increased electrical stress. In first and second embodiments of the invention, stress control cones for a joint and a termination, respectively, are formed from modified-cylindrically-shaped metal conductors. In a third embodiment, a corona shield is formed from a modified-cylindrically-shaped metal conductor.

  • Patent number: 5130495
    Abstract: A cable termination assembly for terminating a high voltage current-carrying conductor includes an outer porcelain housing and an inner polymeric liner of low durometer, cast in the housing before insertion of the cable. The liner is bonded to the housing wall to prevent air voids. A metal base member amy be employed and may include an upstanding shielding collar extending part way into the housing and being joined thereto by the cast liner.
