  • Patent number: 9088141
    Abstract: Support stands for screening terminals are disclosed, such as a support stand having a main body comprised of a receiving device for a bus bar and a fixing device for fixing the bus bar in the receiving device. According to illustrative implementations, the main body can be latched onto a mounting rail in such a way that, when the bus bar is fixed in the receiving device by the fixing device, the longitudinal extension of the mounting rail is parallel to a longitudinal extension of the bus bar. In further implementations, the receiving device and the fixing device may be designed in conjunction with the bus bar to achieve various configurations and/or arrangements having specified angular position(s) of the bus bar.

  • Patent number: 8460038
    Abstract: A modular terminal having a terminal housing, a busbar, and two terminal elements for connecting two conductors to the busbar. Two functional slots are formed at both connecting ends in the terminal housing. The first functional slot provides a first connection possibility for a first test socket or a test plug, and, the second functional slot provides a second connection possibility for a fixed link or a jumper. In order to be able to mount the testing and switching equipment in a simple and flexible manner in the modular terminal, an additional third functional slot is formed at both connecting ends in the terminal housing, a third connection possibility corresponding to the third functional slot is formed at both connecting ends in the busbar, and the connection possibilities in the busbar are openings into which test sockets, test plugs, fixed links, or jumpers can be alternatively plugged.

  • Patent number: 6731193
    Abstract: The object of the invention is to provide a slotted current acquisition coil according to the Rogowski principle in which the printed circuit board base of the measuring coil can be opened to insert an electrical conductor to be measured without having to interrupt the latter. To this end, the two printed circuit board segments linked together by a hinge are opened. Twisting a single-piece printed circuit board also opens the arrangement for inserting the conductor to be measured.

  • Patent number: 6004163
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a frame which supports contact modules which are equipped with connections for a corresponding number of conductors of a multi-wire cable. The contact modules and corresponding female modules can be freely combined in their selection and arrangement and can be latched together to form compact module blocks.

  • Patent number: 4162819
    Abstract: A terminal device for connecting an electrical conductor to another unit, e.g. in the form of a terminal strip, comprises a passage for inserting the insulation-stripped end of the conductor which is inclined to another passage in which a clamping screw is received. The screw has a conical nonthreaded portion which bears against the conductor when the screw is tightened and where the passages meet.
