    摘要: A system for electrically isolating a live electrical busbar includes a housing made from a dielectric material. The housing has a first wall, a second wall extending from the first wall, and a third wall extending from the second wall. The first wall, second wall and third wall cooperate to define a hollow interior portion sized to receive the electrical busbar. A door member is rotationally coupled on a first end to the third wall. A fastener is operable to releasably couple a second end of the door member to an end of the first wall.

    摘要: A bus bar assembly is provided and includes a first linking bus bar, a second linking bus bar and plural power connectors. The first linking bus bar includes a first main bar, a first bending part, a first conducting part and plural second conducting parts. The second conducting parts connect with the first main bar, respectively. The first bending part connects between the first main bar and the first conducting part. The second linking bus bar is disposed corresponding to and isolated from the first linking bus bar, and includes a second main bar, a second bending part, a third conducting part and plural fourth conducting parts. The fourth conducting parts connect with the second main bar, respectively. The second bending part connects between the second main bar and the third conducting part. The power connectors are electrically coupled with the second conducting parts and the fourth conducting parts.

    摘要: An underground power distribution network that clears faults using detected traveling waves. The network includes a power source, a feeder receiving power from the power source, and a plurality of series connected switchgear disposed along the feeder. Each switchgear includes at least one current interrupting device for interrupting current on the feeder, at least one current sensor for measuring current on the feeder, and a controller responsive to current measurement signals from the current sensor. A communications link provides communications between the controllers. The current sensors detect traveling waves as a result of a fault on the feeder and the controllers broadcast messages on the communications link identifying whether the controller receives positive polarity or negative polarity traveling waves that identify whether the fault is downstream or upstream of the switchgear so as to determine which current interrupting device will be opened to clear the fault.

    摘要: A plurality of connection members extend in a first direction perpendicular to a vertical direction. A plurality of terminal members are attached to the plurality of connection members, respectively. Each of the plurality of terminal members includes a fixed portion and a connected portion. The fixed portion is attached to a connection member and extends in the first direction. The connected portion is joined to one end portion of the fixed portion in a longitudinal direction, and an electric wire is connected to the connected portion. The connected portion extends in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the fixed portion extends. Each of the plurality of terminal members is attached to the connection member in any of a first attitude in which the connected portion extends upward in the vertical direction and a second attitude in which the connected portion extends downward in the vertical direction.

    摘要: An electrical assembly may include a contactor, a bus bar connected to the contactor, a bracket connected to the bus bar, and/or a cooling member. The cooling member may be connected to the bracket such that the contactor is indirectly connected to the cooling member via the bus bar and the bracket. A method of assembling an electrical assembly may include providing a bracket and one or more contactors, inserting the one or more contactors into the bracket, disposing a flexible circuit at least partially on and/or in the bracket, electrically connecting the flexible circuit with the one or more contactors, connecting a bus bar assembly with the one or more contactors, connecting the bus bar assembly with the bracket, disposing a cooling member on or about the bracket, and/or connecting the cooling member with the bracket.
