  • Patent number: 11569542
    Abstract: A battery assembly for a lighting fixture is provided. The battery assembly includes a battery unit comprising a battery unit housing and a first set of conductive pins. The battery unit housing is configured to accommodate one or more batteries configured to power one or more light sources of the lighting fixture. The first set of conductive pins are in electrical communication with the batteries. The battery assembly includes a battery interface comprising a battery interface housing and a second set of conductive pins. The battery interface housing is configured to accommodate the battery unit housing. The second set of conductive pins are coupled to the light source(s) so that the batteries power the light source(s) when the first set of conductive pins contact the second set of conductive pins. In some implementations, the battery unit can be inserted into the battery interface while the lighting fixture is energized.

  • Patent number: 10910811
    Abstract: A gland assembly includes a gland body (3) and a cap nut (5) connected by screw threads (25). A cable holding device (11) is received within the cap nut (5) and has a plurality of fingers (19) configured to apply a gripping force to a cable (7) extending through the gland assembly in response to a torque applied to the cap nut (5). The fingers (19) are configured to increase the gripping force on the cable (7) in response to a linear force applied to the elongate member.

  • Patent number: 10804055
    Abstract: An electrical switch including a jaw assembly, a housing and a blade assembly. The jaw assembly is electrically connected to a first electrical conductor. The housing assembly is electrically connected to a second electrical conductor. The blade assembly is fixedly attached to said housing assembly at a first end thereof and having an electrically conductive blade contact fixedly attached to a second end distal from said first end. The housing assembly and said blade assembly pivot about a first axis to drive said blade contact into said jaw assembly to close said switch. The blade assembly is operable to rotate about a second axis perpendicular to said first axis only when said distal end of said blade assembly is seated in said jaw assembly.

  • Patent number: 9461452
    Abstract: A diaphragm seal (101) for a cable gland (FIG. 1) has concentric inner (103) and outer (105) cylindrical seal walls connected at one end by a diaphragm (107) to define a cavity (121). The cavity (121) contains a plurality of support webs (125) that extend between the inner (103) and outer (105) seal walls. The webs (125) are provided on an exit side of the seal (101) and deform to assist insertion of the cable through the seal (101) from an entry side of the seal (101). The webs (12) resist inversion of the seal (101) when the pressure on the exit side is higher than the pressure on the entry side to create a pressure differential across the diaphragm (107).

  • Publication number: 20080136426
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for characterising a three phase transformer (3) using a single phase power supply (1). Pairs of input terminals (H0-H3) of the transformer are sequentially energised for each energisation and the voltage between pairs of output terminals (x0-x3) of the transformer are measured. Measured voltages are processed in order to characterise the winding configuration of the transformer. Either simultaneously or subsequently the presence of neutrals on the primary and/or secondary side of the transformer are identified to enable the winding configuration to be further characterised. Subsequently any phase displacement of the transformer is determined.
