  • Publication number: 20240063619
    Abstract: Connectors and methods for providing a seal between a conductor and a wall of an electrical enclosure that includes an opening to receive the conductor therethrough and a method for providing. A connector can include a sheath configured to surround the conductor along a length of the conductor and an anchor structure internal to the sheath. The anchor structure can include fastener openings arranged to receive a plurality of fasteners that extend through the wall and through material of the sheath, to couple the sheath to the electrical enclosure with the material of the sheath between the anchor structure and the wall of the electrical enclosure to provide a seal.

  • Patent number: 11855433
    Abstract: A support assembly, for supporting one or more conductors of a low voltage power distribution system, can include an adjustable clip subassembly. The adjustable clip subassembly can include a housing, a clip, and a biasing element. The housing can define a receiving space, and the clip can define a receiving region. The clip can be positioned within the receiving space so that the receiving region receives the housing. The biasing element can be disposed between the clip and the housing and configured to bias the clip away from the housing. The subassembly can be configured to move between an open configuration and a closed configuration. In the open configuration, the clip can compress the biasing element against the housing, allowing for insertion of a conductor into the receiving space. In the closed configuration, clip can be laterally translated, relative to the open configuration, to engage the conductor.

  • Publication number: 20220102025
    Abstract: A power conductor can include a plurality of copper-clad aluminum wires that are braided together to form a power braid. The power conductor can include an insulating sheath configured to enclose at least a portion of the power braid. The power conductor can be configured for use a power distribution system, and can be configured to electrically connect a transformer with a power distribution modules. The power conductor can be configured to connect to a conductive palm of the transformer and to a conductive contact of the power distribution module.

  • Patent number: 11145434
    Abstract: A low voltage power conductor can include a plurality of copper-clad aluminum wires braided into a power braid. The low voltage power conductor may be configured for use in a power distribution system for distributing power from an electrical grid, and can be attached to the transformer and the power distribution module at single respective attachment points. A low voltage power distribution system can include a low voltage power conductor and a clamp that includes a clamp body and a clamp spacer. Legs of the clamp spacer can be configured to limit deformation of the low voltage power conductor upon compression of the low voltage power conductor by the clamp.

  • Patent number: 10756461
    Abstract: An adapter for a housing opening in a housing of a splice block can include an adapter body that is movably coupled to the housing and includes a conductor passage. The adapter body can be selectively movable between a closed configuration and an open configuration, in which the conductor passage is, respectively, in and out of alignment with the housing opening.
