The repair pin-stud further includes a tubular pin concentric with the cylindrical stud member. A first end of the tubular pin is connected to the cylindrical stud member, and a second end of the tubular pin is open and the elongated installation member extends outwardly from the second end of the tubular pin.

Abstract: Disclosed is a split conduit for separating line and low voltage wiring, wherein two wire or cable types are supported and do not interfere with one another along the conduit length. The conduit includes a rounded outer wall forming an enclosed cross section, wherein a partition is provided within the interior of the conduit that runs along its length to create a first and second pathway. The outer surface of the conduit is discretely marked based on line or low voltage, allowing a user to distinguish what wire type is in each pathway and to locate the partition without inspecting the wires or looking into the interior of the conduit. The split conduit is adapted to be connected to a split meter socket box having a divider for separating connection types, wherein wires from corresponding conduit chambers can be oriented appropriately to establish electrical connectivity within the meter box.

Abstract: A meter socket for a meter box includes a set of meter jaws to receive a watt-hour meter, a bypass conductor member to selectively connect the meter jaws and provide a bypass for the watt-hour meter, and an activator for the bypass conductor member. The activator is configured to be activated by a user through a closed meter box to move the bypass conductor member from a metered position to a bypass position.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a lever bypass plug-in meter socket. More particularly, the invention encompasses a lever bypass plug-in meter socket for electric watt-hour meters. The present invention is also directed to a novel plug-in meter socket for electrical watt-hour meter with a quick bypass. A lever may be used to rotate a bypass blade to short selected contacts through the blade when the watt-hour meter needs to be changed or tested.

Abstract: A socket assembly for mounting an electric meter comprising a plurality of power line connector subassemblies for connecting electric power lines to the socket assembly. Each subassembly comprises a generally U-shaped lug of electrically conductive material defining a saddle for supporting one of the electric power lines, a connector and a screw. The connector comprises a body of electrically conductive material having opposite sides slidably engageable with respective legs of the lug. A horn of electrically conductive material projects from the body for connection to a bypass conductor forming at least part of an electrical path for bypassing the electric meter. The screw is threadable through a screw opening in the connector to a position in which the screw is adapted to contact said power line in the saddle of the lug.

Abstract: A support supports an auxiliary component, like a circuit board, in a non-interferingly manner with electrical contacts in a watthour meter socket adapter housing. In another aspect, a circuit board is provided with contacts along one edge which form spring jaws for receiving a terminal. A conductive tab on the circuit board resiliently completes an electrical circuit between a contact in the housing and a circuit or electrical component on the circuit board.

Abstract: A single housing containing an electric power meter compartment and a circuit breaker-power receptacle compartment is adapted for use at a temporary construction site employing underground utility cables in a utility secondary cable enclosure. The meter compartment and circuit breaker-power receptacle compartment are disposed in a side-by-side arrangement in the housing which is adapted for secure mounting to a pedestal connected to the underground utility cables. The power circuit breakers and receptacles are protected from the environment by means of an overhanging access door pivotally attached to the power receptacle(s) compartment. The attached plug-type power load cable connections in the housing are also environmentally protected by means of the access door overhang. Disposed in the circuit breaker-power receptacle compartment is a receptacle to provide electric power on a temporary basis such as to a contractor during the construction phase of a housing development.

Abstract: A bus bar is installed on a relay box accommodating relays. An exposed core wire at one end of an input line and an exposed core wire at one end of a bypassing line are crimped to a crimping portion of a first connection terminal. An exposed core wire at one end of an output line and an exposed core wire at the other end of the bypassing line are crimped to a crimping portion of a second connection terminal. The first and second connection terminals are connected with the bus bar by means of a respective screws tightened into the bus bar.

Abstract: An adapter provides full single phase electrical service when there is a partial electrical service failure to one of the line contacts of the watt-hour meter socket. The adapter includes a housing, wherein at least two line apertures are formed through the housing. A line electrical conductor is removably inserted through one of the line apertures to correspond to the live line contact of the meter socket. The line electrical conductor has a first end configured for being connected to the line contact of the watt-hour meter socket and a second end configured for being connected of contact of the watt-hour meter. At least two load apertures are formed through the housing. At least two load electrical conductors are each inserted through the load apertures.

Abstract: Angle members forming the vertically extending supply buses in a meter center have arcuate offsets so that flanges on the ends of horizontally extending tenant buses form tenant stab contacts which are vertically aligned with supply stab contacts on straight sections of the outwardly projecting flanges of the supply bus angle members. Meter socket assemblies have double ended fastenerless meter jaws one pair of which plug onto the supply bus stab contacts and another pair of which plug onto the tenant bus stab contacts, and into which the meters are plugged. The double ended fastenerless meter jaws are fabricated from a pair of elongated flat members having end sections bent back on and diverging from straight center sections, and terminal sections which extend toward each other from the end sections and converge slightly toward the center sections. Spring clips clamp the terminal sections of the pair of elongated members in compliant confronting relationship to form the double ended fastenerless meter jaws.

Abstract: A watthour meter socket adapter includes a housing with a base (12) and an annular sidewall for receiving a watthour meter. Pairs of line blade terminals (69, 64) and load blade terminals (50, 52) extend through the base for connection to jaw contacts in a watthour meter socket. The line blade terminals have a fuse mounting end disposed within the housing. A fuse connector is attached to the load blade terminals and includes a fuse mounting end. The fuse mounting ends include threaded studs (70, 86, 88) and are arranged in the housing to receive two fuses (92, 94) in selectible positions between the line and load blade terminals and between both load blade terminals with apertured tabs (96, 98) of the fuses fitted over the studs. A pair of jaw contacts are mounted in the housing and disconnected from the line blade terminals to temporarily mount a watthour meter on the housing in a storage position.
