  • Publication number: 20190067889
    Abstract: A busway assembly includes first and second busway sections and a joint assembly connecting the first and second sections. Each busway section includes a housing including first and second opposing side portions. Each busway section includes a first insulator held in the first side portion and a second insulator held in the second side portion. The first and second insulators each hold one or more bus bar conductors. The joint assembly includes first and second connected joint housings and plurality of joint conductors held in the first and second housings. A first exposed portion of each joint conductor extends out of the first housing and is electrically connected with one of the bus bar conductors of the first busway section. A second exposed portion of each joint conductor extends out of the second housing and is electrically connected with one of the bus bar conductors of the second busway section.

  • Patent number: 10211581
    Abstract: A plug-in device for use with a busway system comprising a busway housing defining a longitudinal axis includes a stab base housing having first and second opposite sides, one or more stab conductors extending out of and away from the stab base housing at each of the first and second sides of the stab base housing, and a ground conductor at an upper portion of the stab base housing. The stab base housing is configured to be received through an opening at a bottom portion of the busway housing and positioned in a first position and then rotated from the first position to a second position. The ground conductor is configured to contact a top wall of the busway housing in each of the first and second positions.

  • Patent number: 10135209
    Abstract: A plug-in device for use with a busway system comprising a busway housing defining a longitudinal axis includes a stab base housing having first and second opposite sides, one or more stab conductors extending out of and away from the stab base housing at each of the first and second sides of the stab base housing, and a first alignment tab on the first side of the housing and a second alignment tab on the second side of the housing. The stab base housing is configured to be received through an opening at a bottom portion of the busway housing and positioned in a first position and then rotated from the first position to a second position. The first and second alignment tabs are configured to allow rotation from the first position to the second position in only one rotational direction.
