  • Patent number: 7332994
    Abstract: An apparatus for indicating the proper seating of a high voltage fuse in its mounting assembly in connection with electrical switchgear utlilizes a spring loaded flag positioned adjacent a latching protrusion for engagement by the latch of the mounting assembly such that the flag is moved from an obscured position to an visible position only when the latch is in its affirmatively locked position.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6310311
    Abstract: An integrated bushing component for use in conjunction with pad mounted high voltage three-phase switch gear located with an electrical cabinet. The integrated bushing component providing an electrically insulated conductive path through a dead front barrier separating a first switch gear confinement area, wherein a first electrical circuit is connected to the switch gear mounted therein, and an second electrical connection confinement area, wherein connection to a second electrical circuit is provided by an end of the integrated bushing component. The switch gear includes a switch arm selectively positionable between an open non-conducting position and a closed conducting position. The switch arm provides a primary conductive path connecting a first electrical circuit with a terminal when the switch arm is placed in the closed conducting position. The integrated bushing includes, in a unitary component, a conductive inner core and a pump housing which receives an electrical arc extinguishing pump therein.
