  • Patent number: 11909191
    Abstract: An electrical junction apparatus for accessing and sealing electrical connections comprising a housing, a removeable sleeve, and a fastener removably secured to a first portion of the housing that secures the outer sleeve to the housing. A method for accessing electrical connections in an electrical junction apparatus involves loosening a first and second fastener from a first and second portion of a housing respectively, removing a tightener from the first portion of the housing, and removing the sleeve from the housing. A method for sealing electrical connections involves installing a sleeve around a housing, positioning a tightener against the sleeve and the first portion of the housing, engaging a first fastener against the tightener and engaging a second fastener with the second portion of the housing and the sleeve.

  • Patent number: 11746602
    Abstract: Systems and methods for testing downhole power cables wherein such systems and methods utilize a mounting bracket having a PEEK insulator extending from a first face of said bracket and at least one flexible lead extending from a second face of said bracket. Such systems and methods may accommodate three such flexible leads that are configured to interface with power cables. A shunting block may be incorporated in a protective cap configured to fit over the PEEK insulator extension from said first face of said bracket.
