Abstract: A contact arm assembly includes a contact arm defining a central axis and having a first end configured for electrical connection with a pole of a circuit breaker and a second end having a distal end defining a shoulder and an engagement that protrudes from the contact arm proximal to the shoulder. A plurality of contact fingers are mounted circumferentially on the second end of the contact arm and configured to electrically engage a primary circuit contact. Each contact finger has a body with a depression that receives the engagement for electrical contact.

Abstract: A sealed core-coil assembly in a submersible transformer includes a coil assembly having an inner coil with inner, outer, upper, and lower surfaces, and an outer coil with inner, outer, upper, and lower surfaces, a core assembly including a core window and core column of a magnetically-permeable material, the core column and core window having inner side surfaces, and an expandable sealing member including an inner cavity that is fillable or evacuatable so that a compliant insulation material is positioned in the inner cavity to block passage of water and prevent the formation of a loop of water, which otherwise would act like an electrical short in a submerged transformer.

Abstract: A sealed core-coil assembly includes a coil assembly having an inner coil with inner, outer, upper, and lower surfaces, and an outer coil with inner, outer, upper, and lower surfaces, a core assembly including a core window and core column of a magnetically-permeable material, the core column and core window having inner side surfaces, and an expandable sealing member including an inner cavity that is fillable or evacuatable. An expandable sealing member is provided between: one or more inner side surfaces of the core column and one or more inner surfaces of the inner coil, the outer surface of the inner coil and the inner surface of the outer coil, and between the upper and lower surfaces of the inner and outer coils and the inner side surfaces of the core window. Core-coil assemblies, sealing assemblies, and sealing methods are provided, as are numerous other aspects.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a shielded coil assembly is provided that includes (1) a coil having an outer surface, an inner surface, an upper end surface and a lower end surface and a first insulating material formed over the outer surface, inner surface, upper end surface and lower end surface of the coil; and (2) a conductive shield comprising a conductive paint applied along the first insulating material so that the conductive paint extends over at least a portion of each of the outer surface, inner surface, upper end surface, and lower end surface of the coil. In one or more embodiments, a dry-type transformer may be formed using the shielded coil assembly. Numerous other embodiments are provided.
