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.

Abstract: An electrical connector for use with a conductor includes a housing defining a port. The port includes an entrance opening, an exit opening, and a conductor passage extending between and communicating with the entrance and exit openings. The conductor passage is adapted to receive the conductor therethrough. Sealant is disposed in the conductor passage. The sealant is adapted for insertion of the conductor therethrough such that the sealant provides a seal about the inserted conductor. A penetrable closure wall extends across the conductor passage.

Abstract: A busbar assembly for electrically connecting a plurality of conductors includes a housing defining an interior cavity and first and second ports. The first and second ports each include a conductor passage and communicate with the interior cavity. The conductor passages are each adapted to receive a conductor therethrough. An electrically conductive busbar conductor member is disposed in the interior cavity. At least one holding mechanism is provided to selectively secure each of the conductors to the busbar conductor member for electrical contact therewith. Sealant is disposed in the conductor passages of each of the first and second ports. The sealant is adapted for insertion of the conductors therethrough such that the sealant provides a seal about the inserted conductors. The sealant may be a gel.

Abstract: A connection protector kit for use with an electrical stub connection includes a flexible cap having first and second opposed ends and an interior wall defining a cavity. The first end is closed and an opening is formed in the second end and communicates with the cavity. A gel is disposed in the cavity. The cavity and the gel are adapted to receive the stub connection. Retaining means may be provided to retain the cap on the connection.

Abstract: Wrap-around cable sleeves are provided for environmentally sealing a cable section. The cable sleeves include a wrap-around body member of an electrically insulating material and have a longitudinally extending portion with a corrugated lateral cross-section. The longitudinally extending portion defines a portion of a cable chamber extending around the cable section when the body member is wrapped around the cable section. A closure edge extends along a first longitudinal edge of the body member. A sealant chamber extends along a second longitudinal edge of the body member. The sealant chamber has an opening configured to receive the closure edge when the body member is wrapped around the cable section. A sealant material is positioned in the sealant chamber to environmentally seal the longitudinal edges of the body member when the body member is wrapped around the cable section. Methods of forming wrap-around cable sleeves are also provided.

Abstract: A connection protector kit for use with a plurality of electrical stub connections includes a cap defining an opening and having an interior, wall defining a cavity. The cavity communicates with the opening. A separator insert defines an insert axis and includes a plurality of holding walls. Each of the holding walls is adapted to hold a respective one of the stub connections. A plurality of axially extending separator walls are interposed between adjacent ones of the holding walls. The cavity is adapted to receive the separator insert and the stub connections.

Abstract: A wrap-around cable sleeve for environmentally sealing a cable section is provided where the wrap-around cable sleeve includes a longitudinally extending body comprising an electrically insulating material and having a longitudinally extending portion with a corrugated lateral cross-section. The longitudinally extending portion has a flexural modulus of between about 4,000 and 100,000 psi. The longitudinally extending portion defines a portion of a cable chamber. The cable chamber extends at least substantially around the cable section when the body is wrapped around the cable section. The cable chamber has a range taking in a radial direction of at least about 15 percent. The present invention may provide a wrap-around cable sleeve for protecting electrical cable sections of various shapes and sizes from the environment, including moisture as well as sharp objects. Methods of making such wrap-around cable sleeves are also provided.

Abstract: Wire separators for separating two or more wires in a multicore cable splice closure are provided. Wire separators of the present invention may promote the positioning of sealant material adjacent a crotch region defined by two or more wires exiting a sheath of a multicore cable. Wire separators of the present invention may form part of a cable splice closure for environmentally scaling a multicore cable and may reduce or prevent entry of moisture into the closure through the crotch region. Wire separators of the present invention may include a longitudinally extending side wall. The side wall may further extend circumferentially so as to define a sealant material reservoir. At least a portion of the side wall may include a flexible material.
