  • Patent number: 10122137
    Abstract: A pad extender for coupling a connector coupled to a conductor cable to a lug terminal member of a transformer. The pad extender includes a planar body having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a first axis. The pad extender further includes an elongated slot defined in the first portion of the planar body extending parallel to the first axis. The first portion is couplable to the lug terminal member via a first fastener extending through the slot. The planar body is slidable relative to the lug terminal member along a length of the elongated slot. The pad extender further includes a plurality of apertures defined in the second portion. The connector is couplable to the second portion via a second fastener extending through one of the apertures of the second portion.
