  • Patent number: 6822178
    Abstract: Cluster assemblies for both low and medium voltage applications which allow a movable circuit breaker to connect to a fixed part of the switchgear. The assembly apparatus comprises a plurality of conducting bridge elements consisting of resilient finger springs held in a predetermined geometrical configuration by a guide plate and a locator plate, wherein the locator plate is fixedly attached to a conductor. The resilient finger springs act to engage and hold a second conductor, thus making the electrical connection. The apparatus is scalably configured to address any range of low and medium voltage current necessary to be carried by the switchgear using simple and easily manufactured components.
