  • Patent number: 11148687
    Abstract: A high voltage interconnection system for electrically interconnecting a pair of objects that are movable relative to each other includes a flexible cable, a connection arrangement electrically contacting an end of the flexible cable, and a cable holder arrangement holding the flexible cable in a slidable manner. The cable holder arrangement may include a wear plate fixed to at least one of the objects and a sliding collar fixed on the flexible cable. The collar may be slidably supported to protect the flexible cable from damage as it moves.

  • Patent number: 10262820
    Abstract: A high voltage circuit breaker comprises a vacuum interrupter module, a drive module, and an actuator. The vacuum interrupter module has a vacuum interrupter housing and a pair of electrical contacts disposed in the vacuum interrupter housing. At least one of the pair of electrical contacts is movable relative to the other of the pair of electrical contacts to engage and disengage the electrical contacts from one another for switching a high voltage on and off. The drive module has a drive module housing and a drive member coupled with the at least one movable electrical contact. A central part of the drive member is disposed in the drive module housing and insulated from an ambient air. The actuator is coupled to the drive member and moves the pair of electrical contacts relative to one another.
