Abstract: An adjustable throat for protecting electrical connections between two mating pieces of electrical equipment such as a transformer and associated switchgear is disclosed. The adjustable throat includes two telescoping tubular members each having flanges at one end thereof with oversized holes for connection respectively to a transformer and associated switchgear. The holes allow for vertical and horizontal adjustment to provide for final adjustment in these directions. One of the tubular members also has elongated open ended slots to allow the throat to be adjusted in and out to allow final connection to the switchgear without the need for minor movement of the gear.
