  • Patent number: 11735839
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide an electrically-powered submersible pump. The pump has a pump housing, a ring-style terminal block including an annular component having a plurality of terminals, a motor contained within the pump housing, and a power source in communication with at least one of the plurality of terminals. Each of the plurality of terminals is spaced apart about the annular component and at least one terminal of the plurality of terminals extends outwardly from the annular component. The motor in communication with at least one of the plurality of terminals.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10756459
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a ring-style terminal block for supporting electrical connections. The ring-style terminal block includes an annular component having a radially inward facing surface at least partially defined by a first radius, a radially outward facing surface at least partially defined by a second radius larger than the first radius, a top surface extending between the radially inward facing surface and the radially outward facing surface, and a bottom surface. The bottom surface extends between the radially inward facing surface and the radially outward facing surface. The bottom surface is opposite the top surface and separated from the top surface by a thickness. The terminal block also includes a plurality of terminals spaced apart circumferentially and formed integrally within the annular component.
