  • Modular high-power fuse carrier
    Patent number: 7978482
    Abstract: A modular fuse carrier provides an insulating housing of standard form factor incorporating adapter bus bars having multiple mounting points for different fuse brackets at different separations. The adapter bus bars may be attached to connectors and/or bus bars in fixed configurations to allow standardization and pre-manufacture of electrical assemblies that remain amenable to a wide variety of different fuse types and capacities.
    Type: Grant

  • Draw-out power cell disconnect and isolation mechanism with rack-out guide tray
    Patent number: 7790994
    Abstract: Methods and integrated apparatus are disclosed for electrically disconnecting and allowing external support and access for electrical devices in a power conversion system cabinet. The apparatus includes a support structure that translates a power conversion system component at least partially through a door or other cabinet opening between a first position with the component entirely within the cabinet and a second position with the component supported at least partially outside the cabinet, as well as a power disconnect apparatus operated by translation of the support structure to disconnect the component from electrical power when the support is translated from the first position to the second position.
