    摘要: A lead assembly includes a feeder cable, one or more drop lines, and one or more mold structures. Each drop line includes a drop line connector, the drop line connector configured to be capable of detachable connection to a wire harness having a plurality of branches that are each configured to receive electrical power generated by a corresponding photovoltaic (PV) panel resulting in combined electrical power at the drop line connector. The one or more mold structures are disposed about a region of electrical interconnection between the feeder cable and the one or more drop lines. The one or more mold structures substantially seal the region of electrical interconnection from external environmental conditions. The combined electrical power received at each drop line connector is delivered to the feeder cable at the region of electrical interconnection.

    摘要: In an example, an electrical vehicle (EV) charger system power platform includes a housing, a transformer, a distribution board, and an electrical safety switch. The housing encloses a volume. The transformer is disposed within the volume and is configured to be electrically coupled to a power source and to generate output power from input power received from the power source. The distribution board is disposed within the volume and is electrically coupled to an output of the transformer. The electrical safety switch is disposed within the volume and is electrically coupled to an input of the transformer and configured to be electrically coupled to the power source.

    摘要: A lead assembly includes at plurality of drop line joined to a feeder cable at joints each having a compression lug that is preferably surrounded by undermolding and overmolding. In use, each drop line is connected to a solar array, and the feeder cable is connected to an inverter. In this manner a plurality of solar arrays are electrically coupled together, with a common feeder cable connecting them all to the inverter. A system of the present invention doesn't require a combiner box which is conventionally employed directly upstream of the inverter.

    摘要: In an example, a multicable clip includes an elongate base, cradles, and first and second pedestals. The base has a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The cradles extend from the base, each of the cradles configured to receive a corresponding cable, each of the cradles having a narrower width at its opening than within the cradle. The first pedestal is formed at the first end of the base, the first pedestal having a first shoulder to engage a first retention flange of a cable raceway. The second pedestal is formed at the second end of the base, the second pedestal having a second shoulder to engage a second retention flange of the cable raceway. The first and second pedestals are configured to couple the multicable clip to one or more installation structures.

    摘要: A component retention clip includes a body, a grip element, and bottom slide-coupling elements. The body has a base wall and two side walls forming a planar slot therebetween. The grip element is in the slot and coupled with at least one of the two side walls. The bottom slide-coupling elements are on an outer surface of at least one of the two side walls, each bottom slide-coupling element having a tapered cross-sectional profile in a longitudinal plane that narrows in a sliding axis towards an edge of the respective side wall and having a trapezoidal cross-sectional profile in a lateral plane that is orthogonal with the longitudinal plane. The bottom slide-coupling elements include first and second bottom slide-coupling elements, each having a first or second longitudinal plane in a first or second sliding axis.

    摘要: A cable retention clip can include at least one body defining at least two of cable retention channels that are arranged to have parallel channel axes. Each cable retention channel has an inlet opening extending a length of the respective cable retention channel so that a lateral cross-section of each cable retention channel forms a C-shape. Each cable retention channel can be separated from an adjacent cable retention channel by a cable separator. The body also defines at least a pair of the cable retention channels forming a ω shape. The cable retention channels can include two cable retention channels having the same size. A cable arrangement can include the cable retention clip and at least two solar cables. A solar installation can include the cable arrangement and at least one solar panel operably coupled with at least one of the solar cables.

    摘要: In an example, a cable hanger includes a body and an upper portion. The body defines a cable retention channel. The upper portion extends from the body and is configured to suspend the cable hanger from structure of a solar array. In some embodiments, the upper portion includes a component retention clip having a base wall and two side walls that form a planar slot therebetween and the cable hanger further includes at least one grip element in the slot and coupled with at least one of the two side walls. In some embodiments, the upper portion is configured to indirectly suspend the cable hanger from the structure of the solar array and the upper portion includes a cable hanger slide-coupling element configured to couple with a discrete component retention clip that is couplable to the structure of the solar array.
