Publication number: 20150044891Abstract: An adjustable busway joint for coupling two longitudinally aligned busway sections is disclosed. The adjustable joint has a first plurality of electrically conductive splice plates defining a splice plate adjustment slot, and a second plurality of electrically conductive splice plates defining an aperture, wherein each splice plate of the second plurality of splice plates is disposed to overlap a portion of a corresponding splice plate of the first plurality of splice plates to form an electrical joint, and wherein the aperture is sized and disposed to overlap at least a portion of the first splice plate adjustment slot. The joint additionally has a first clamping member disposed through the splice plate adjustment slot and the aperture such that the first and said second pluralities of splice plates are operably movable with respect each other between a first compressed position and a second extended position.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2014Publication date: February 12, 2015Inventors: Brian Frederick Mooney, Michael Richard Wood, Jeffery Lynn Cox, Gerald Witkoski, Mariusz Duda, Mark Schatz

Publication number: 20130327570Abstract: A reducer joint for interconnecting different size busway sections is described. The reducer joint includes a stack of a plurality of rectangular conductive plates, and a cover coupled to the stack. The stack has a first end for coupling to a first plurality of busbars of a first busway section and a second end opposite the first end for coupling to a second plurality of busbars of a second busway section. The cover defines a first opening adjacent the first end of the stack, the first opening having a first size and configured to receive the first plurality of busbars. The cover defines a second opening adjacent the second end of the stack, the second opening having a second size and configured to receive the second plurality of busbars. The first size and the second size are not identical.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2012Publication date: December 12, 2013Inventors: Kuldeep Kumar Bhathija, Steven English Richard, Michael Richard Wood, Jeffery Lynn Cox

Patent number: 8550830Abstract: A connector for interconnecting three busway sections is described. The connector includes a stack of substantially âTâ shaped plate conductors. At least two of the plate conductors are separated from one another by an insulator plate. The stack has a first end configured to couple to a first busway section, a second end configured to couple to a second busway section, and a third end configured to couple to a third busway section. The connector includes a top cover plate, a bottom cover plate, a top insulator plate, and a bottom insulator plate. The top insulator plate couples the top cover plate to the stack and the bottom insulator plate couples the bottom cover plate to the stack.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2012Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Kuldeep Kumar Bhathija, Steven English Richard, Michael Richard Wood, Jeffery Lynn Cox, Shravan Purohit

Patent number: 8540526Abstract: An adjustable length busway joint for coupling a first and a second busway section, the first and second busway sections being longitudinally offset, is disclosed. The busway joint includes a first plurality of splice plates and a second plurality of splice plates disposed to overlap to form an electrical joint. The first and said second pluralities of splice plates are arranged for a longitudinal movement with respect each other between a first compressed position and a second extended position. The busway joint further includes a third plurality of splice plates. Each splice plate of the second plurality of splice plates overlaps a portion of a corresponding splice plate of the third plurality of splice plates to form an electrical joint. The third and second pluralities of splice plates are arranged for a longitudinal movement with respect each other between a third compressed position and a fourth extended position.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2011Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Brian Frederick Mooney, Michael Richard Wood, Jeffery Lynn Cox, Gerald Witkoski, Mariusz Duda, Mark Schatz, Kuldeep Kumar Bhathija

Patent number: 8163998Abstract: A flange end stub for an electrical busway system is provided. The flange end stub includes a flange plate having a first and second tab extending perpendicular to a first surface. A pair of joint side plates is coupled to the first and second tab with one or more conductors extending through the flange plate in between the joint side plates. A first and second bracket is coupled in between the joint side plates on either side of the conductors. Covers are mounted to the first and second brackets and extend over the conductors and any joint assembly that is attached. The covers and brackets cooperate to provide ingress protection.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2008Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Kuldeep Kumar Bhathija, Jeffery Lynn Cox, Steven English Richard
