  • Electrical connector assemblies and joint assemblies and methods for using the same
    Patent number: 7918690
    Abstract: An electrical joint assembly for connecting a plurality of conductors includes a busbar hub and a plurality of limiter modules. The busbar hub includes an electrically conductive busbar body and a plurality of conductor legs extending from the busbar body. The limiter modules each include a fuse element. Each of the limiter modules is connected to a respective one of the conductor legs and is connectable to a respective conductor to provide a fuse controlled connection between the respective conductor leg and the respective conductor. Each of the limiter modules is independently removable from the respective one of the conductor legs.
    Type: Grant
