  • Patent number: 7081027
    Abstract: A multi-tap electrical connector assembly that includes a plurality of connectors having a body with an aperture extending therethrough and either a male pin or a compression fitting and an elongated metal rod having a longitudinal axis. The metal rod is inserted through the apertures and electrically contacts the connectors to form an electrically conductive path from the metal rod to the male pins or the compression fittings. The connectors can rotate 360 degrees around the longitudinal axis of the metal rod while maintaining electrical conductivity between the rod and connectors and the male pins and compression fittings can be connected to wires or cables from #8 AWG to 3000 kcmil in size.

  • Patent number: 6045414
    Abstract: The electrical connector includes a male element traveling within a female element, the male element having a cantilevered C-clamp arm opposing a C-clamp element formed on the female element. A spacer includes a planar surface with a passageway through which at least a portion of the male and female elements pass thereby slidably interlocking the male and female element to each other. The spacer further includes a wire spacer which travels between the clamp arms and separates the conductors to be clamped. Ledges are formed on the male and female elements to limit travel of the male element with respect to the female element and to limit travel of the spacer with respect to the male element. A bolt passing through the female element and threadably engaging the male element secures the male element to the female element so that the clamp arms clamp conductors as separated by the wire spacer.

  • Patent number: 5415558
    Abstract: The present invention provides a means for electrically connecting the corresponding conductors of two adjacent sections of a multi-phase electrical distribution system. The electrical connecting device has a body with two ends and defines a hollow passage connecting the two ends. A conductor clamping plates is slidably received within the passage. A number of electrical connectors are fixedly attached to the clamping plate such that each conductor receiving pocket includes one electrical connector. The clamping plate is selectively movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position electrical conductors from the two adjacent sections may be inserted into the passage at their associated ends of the connecting device. In the second position the conductors are clamped between the passage and the electrical conductors such that conductors from one section sharing common electrical connectors with conductors of the other section are electrically connected together.

  • Patent number: 4757160
    Abstract: A current-carrying screw connection between two tubular conductors located in a high-voltage switching installation having a metal encapsulation and insulated with compressed gas comprises radially oriented screws and a tubular shield, the screw heads being disposed inside the wall of the shield. The shield extends in a longitudinal direction over the ends of the two conductors and covers the butt joint between them. The shield is connected to each conductor via screws which are disposed within a region having a maximum circumferential extent of 180.degree..

  • Patent number: 4723920
    Abstract: An electrical connector for electrically connecting two conductors. More particularly the connector includes a C-shaped body member having parallel, inwardly facing channels along each side for receiving conductors therein and a pair of toggle blocks pivotally hinged together and each having outwardly facing channels along one side. The toggle blocks, having a combined width greater than the space between conductors positioned in the inwardly facing channels, compress the conductors therein when drawn into the body member.
