  • Patent number: 11139641
    Abstract: A power meter socket assembly includes a primary meter stack section with a first bus section including conductors oriented in a first plane and an extension meter stack section including a second bus section including conductors oriented in the first plane. The assembly includes a first connection section including flexible conductors. Each flexible conductor includes a first end electrically connected to a conductor of the first bus section and a second end electrically connected to a conductor of the second bus section. The assembly includes a power bus connection section and a disconnect switch. The switch includes line terminals electrically connected to the bus connection section and load terminals connected to the first bus section. The assembly includes a second connection section including flexible conductors oriented parallel to and below the first bus section to connect the line terminals of the switch to the bus connection section.

  • Patent number: 10637215
    Abstract: Enclosures for electrical distribution systems include a height adjuster enclosure that provides connector buses and bus lines that rise from bus lines in a main terminal enclosure to connect to another enclosure such as a meter stack enclosure through the bus lines in the height adjuster enclosure. The bus lines in the height adjuster enclosure can include a three-phase bus having three vertical line conductor buses and a vertical neutral conductor bus that can be coupled to a feeder bus in the main terminal enclosure and a feeder bus in the meter stack enclosure.

  • Patent number: 10292310
    Abstract: Thermally conductive assemblies that provide a heat conduction path include at least one thermally conductive wedge block that can be held in a receptacle with a wall having sufficient flexibility to be able to expand outward in response to an outward force applied by the at least one thermally conductive wedge block. The wedge block can also be electrically resistive.

  • Patent number: 10218156
    Abstract: Enclosures for an electrical apparatus include a housing comprising a back and first and second spaced apart sidewalls extending outwardly from the back and providing an interior space and a door pivotably attached to the housing, the door having a primary body with a bottom having a bottom flange and first and second laterally spaced apart side flanges. The bottom flange and the side flanges have a folded inwardly extending edge joining first and second parallel wall segments that are orthogonal to the primary body of the door. The enclosure can also include at least one slot extending through the first and second parallel wall segments of the bottom flange and/or a retention bracket attached to an inner surface of the door that engages the housing.
