  • Patent number: 9698548
    Abstract: A splice connector for a busway system utilizes individual connectors made of a conductive material and having a u-shaped cross-section that fit over ends of a pair of busbars to be connected to each other, and within which are mounted multi-contact louvers that extend the length of the connectors to establish a low impedance electrical connection between the connector and the respective busbars. The louvers are secured in place by a dovetail groove that retains the louvers within the connectors and causes the individual contact sections of the louvers to bow outwardly so as to press against the busbars when the connector is fitted over the busbars. The connectors are snapped into insulative housing halves or sections that align the connectors with the busbars, and that provide isolation between horizontally aligned pairs of connectors.

  • Patent number: 9520703
    Abstract: A busway splice connector can include a first connector and a second connector. Each of the first connector and the second connector can define a busbar volume for receiving a portion of two busbars. The busway splice connector can also include a first housing that defines a first compartment for receiving the first connector. The busway splice connector can also include a second housing that defines a second compartment for receiving the second connector. The busway splice connector can also include an insulator configured to be positioned between the first housing and the second housing and to insulate the first connector from the second connector when the busway splice connector is assembled.
