Abstract: A method for assembling a housing for a high voltage electrical switch includes providing a tubular body having a top portion and a bottom portion opposite the top portion, wherein the tubular body is configured to receive a vacuum bottle assembly within the tubular body; sliding a first shed sleeve over an outside surface of the top portion without creating a permanent bond, wherein an interior surface of the first shed sleeve forms a dielectric interface between the outside surface of the top portion and the interior surface of the first shed sleeve; and sliding a second shed sleeve over an outside surface of the bottom portion without creating a permanent bond, wherein an interior surface of the second shed sleeve forms a dielectric interface between the outside surface of the bottom portion and the interior surface of the second shed sleeve.

Abstract: A housing for a high voltage electrical switch includes a tubular body having a top portion and a bottom portion opposite the top portion and removable shed sleeves. A first shed sleeve is removably attached to an outside surface of the top portion, such that an interior surface of the first shed sleeve forms a dielectric interface between the outside surface of the top portion and the interior surface of the first shed sleeve. A second shed sleeve is removably attached to an outside surface of the bottom portion, such that an interior surface of the second shed sleeve forms a dielectric interface between the outside surface of the bottom portion and the interior surface of the second shed sleeve. The first and second shed sleeves are stretched over their respective portions of the tubular body and secured via an interference fit.

Abstract: A set screw connector includes an elongate generally rectangular conductive bus bar. The bus bar includes a first face having a plurality of spaced cable receiving apertures and a second face which is generally orthogonal to the first face having a plurality of spaced set screw apertures. The cable receiving apertures and the set screw apertures are in communication with one another. A cover formed of a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) is molded over the bus bar. The molded cover further includes integrally formed auxiliary components insertable into at least one of the cable receiving apertures and the set screw receiving apertures.
