  • Patent number: 8143519
    Abstract: A wind turbine wiring enclosure cabinet is provided having a housing and an electrical circuit connection means. The housing has a top surface, a bottom surface, and a sidewall in contact with the top surface, the top surface having a plurality of apertures formed therein. The housing has an interior, and the sidewall has at least one door accessing the interior. The electrical circuit connection means includes a plurality of non-conductive vertical members, and a plurality of conductive elements having connected thereto a plurality of connector retention means. Each connector retention means has a slot formed therein for insertion therein of a lay-in lug assembly. Each non-conductive vertical member has two sidewalls with an intermediate wall connected to each of the two sidewalls. The apertures formed in the top surface are arranged in a plurality of groups, as are the apertures formed in the bottom surface.

  • Patent number: 7825333
    Abstract: A pad-mounted termination enclosure is provided having a pair of side panels on opposite sides of the termination enclosure, each side panel having attached thereto a plurality of buss bar attachment means, with the buss bar attachment means cooperating in pairs to support a plurality of buss bars extending between opposing side panels. A first door is attached to one of the side panels, and a second door is attached to the other of the side panels. An upper horizontal member extends between the side panels generally above the first door, and another upper horizontal member extends between the side panels above the second door. The termination enclosure also includes a lid positioned atop the pair of side panels and each of the upper horizontal members, with the lid being removably attached to the termination enclosure by lid attachment. In one embodiment the buss bar is a lay-in buss bar. A cover for the buss bar is also provided in one embodiment.
