Abstract: A split door submersible housing for an electrical distribution system includes a cabinet body defining an interior region configured to accept a component of the electrical distribution system, and a first door and a second door positioned side by side to cover an open front portion of the cabinet body. The cabinet body includes at least one opening configured to accept an electrode sealed with and electrically isolated from the cabinet body and extending through the cabinet body to establish electrical connection between a corresponding terminal of the component and an electrical distribution network. A gasket system is provided, which comprises a first gasket configured to fit on the first door and a second gasket configured to fit on the second door. The gasket system seals the first door and the second door against each other and against a corresponding surface on the cabinet body, when the first and second doors are closed and locked, so that the housing is water tight.

Abstract: A support core system for deploying a cold shrink rubber over a cable splice connection in an electrical distribution system. The support core system includes a first solid core, a second solid core, and a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film. The first solid core is configured to fit over a cable in the electrical distribution system and hold a first portion of the cold shrink rubber in an expanded state. The cable includes the cable splice connection. The second solid core is configured to fit over the cable and hold a second portion of the cold shrink rubber in an expanded state. The PET film is positioned between the cold shrink rubber and each of the first solid core and the second solid core.

Abstract: A new and improved separable loadbreak connector system capable of providing higher switching and fault close ratings by various means of dividing the arc energy within the connector system.

Abstract: An apparatus and methods of securing a C-Frame to a cable run during the installation process of a cable tap are disclosed. A holding device is removably coupled to an interface positioned adjacent to a C-Frame loosely coupled to a cable run. The holding device which is coupled to the interface is slid over and onto the C-Frame, thereby securing the C-Frame to the cable run. Thereafter, a cable tap is coupled to the C-Frame.

Abstract: A link disconnect box enables easy field retrofitting of network protectors. The link disconnect box has an outer casing that defines a cavity with a front face opening and top and bottom bus bar openings. Top and bottom terminals seal the top and bottom bus bar openings. The bottom terminal is configured to connect to an existing terminal of the network protector. A removable face plate seals shut the front face opening. Top and bottom bus bars electrically connect to the top and bottom terminals, extending through the respective top and bottom bus bar openings towards each other, with an air gap between them within the cavity. An electrical link, which can be bolted closed, connects and disconnects the top and bottom bus bars by electrically bridging the air gap.
