Abstract: A conducting medium or high voltage cable can include at least one conductor surrounded by an insulating layer. One or more layers of conducting wires can surround the insulating layers, and the layers of conducting wires themselves can be separated by insulating layers. The centrally disposed conductor and surrounding circumferential conducting layers can include copper, aluminum, or a combination of both. The central conductor can range between about 1000 kcmil to about 4000 kcmil cross-sectional area, and the surrounding layers of conducting wires can be at least about 250 kcmil.

Abstract: A conductor termination system for use with an electrical power transmission conductor includes a termination assembly and a connector. The termination assembly includes an end member and an integral retainer mechanism. The end member includes a receiver portion configured to receive a segment of the conductor. The retainer mechanism includes a moveable keeper member on the end member. The retainer mechanism is operable to selectively clamp a segment of the conductor in the receiver portion to the end member and to apply a retention load to the conductor segment. The connector is adapted to be applied to the end member and the conductor to securely clamp the conductor segment to the end member.

Abstract: An operation detection device for an overcurrent protection component that detects a transition event between a closed state and an open state of the protection component includes an event sensor positioned at a location selected to allow the event sensor to detect the transition event and a current sensor positioned at a location selected to detect a current passing through the overcurrent protection component and to generate a first output signal based on a level of the detected current. A switch circuit operatively coupled to the event sensor is configured to generate a second output signal indicating a change in state of the overcurrent protection component responsive to detection of the transition event by the event sensor.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include a T-body elbow arrestor having an elbow body. A surge arrestor is positioned in one portion of the elbow body extending from an intermediate portion of another portion of the elbow body. An end cap assembly is coupled to the elbow body that is electrically connected to the surge arrestor. A bushing receiving region is positioned in the elbow body extending from the intermediate section towards a first end of the elbow body that is configured to receive a bushing. An insulating plug is positioned in the elbow body extending from the intermediate section towards a second, opposite end of the elbow body. The insulating plug has an end in the intermediate section configured to be coupled to the bushing to secure the T-body elbow arrestor in an assembled condition.

Abstract: An overvoltage protection device includes first and second electrically conductive electrode members, a varistor member formed of a varistor material and electrically connected with each of the first and second electrode members, and an electrically conductive, meltable member. The meltable member is responsive to heat in the device to melt and form a current flow path between the first and second electrode members through the meltable member.

Abstract: The resilient sleeve member defines an axially extending inner passage. The holdout device includes a core mounted in the inner passage of the sleeve member. The core defines a core passage to receive the elongate substrate and has at least first and second sections. The first and second sections are arranged in a supporting position such that the core maintains the sleeve member in a radially expanded condition. The first and second sections are arranged for relative telescoping movement from the supporting position to a releasing position to permit at least a portion of the sleeve member to radially contract from the radially expanded position to a radially recovered position.
