Transformer connector

Flexible grounding plate for overhead utility lines

A submersible splice assembly which includes a splice and a mating splice cover. The splice and splice cover are configured such that the splice cover is centered about the splice. As interference fit between the splice and splice cover is also provided.

Submersible splice and splice cover assembly

A submersible splice assembly which provides a splice and a removable mating splice cover. The splice and splice cover are configured such that the splice cover is centered about the splice. The splice includes a centrally located rib extending about the splice and the splice cover includes a central recess which mates with the rib on the splice. An interference fit between the splice and splice cover is also provided.

Submersible splice apparatus

Set screw transformer connector

A protective cover is provided for a standard rectangular transformer connector bar and for pedestal bar connector having ports for cable installation and threaded boreholes in adjacent ninety degree planes. The cover comprises a translucent housing open at one end and closed at the other when used with the transformer bar connector, and closed at both ends when used as a pedestal bar connector. The cover has a plurality of internal aligning ribs having apertures therein which allow longitudinal passage of the connector bar therethrough. A plurality of parallel access ports through the housing extend longitudinally and are spaced from each other ninety degrees so as to be alignable with the installation ports and boreholes of the bar connector. Opposed flexible tines extend across each of the access ports from the edges thereof. The apertures in the ribs are geometrically configured so as to align the access ports with the installation ports and boreholes of the transformer connector bar for either a right-hand or left-hand installation of the connector bar on the transformer stud.

Transformer bar connector cover

A bar connector is provided whereby, when the connector is in a locked position on a transformer bushing, a set screw is provided having a conical tapered end. An internally threaded bore hole is selectively provided in the connector at a point such that, when the connector is secured on the transformer bushing, the tapered conical end of the set screw bears against the chamfer of the threaded stud of the transformer, thereby locking the connector in place without damaging the threads of the stud. By utilizing this method for locking the transformer stud, thus eliminating the present lock nut, a completely insulated and sealed transformer bus is gained. An insulating cover positioned at the threaded end of the bar connector provides a flexible cylindrical base which, under thread pressure, seals the juncture of the transformer bushing with the insulated end of the bar connector. After threading the bar connector over the transformer stud, the stud is locked in place, as previously described. A second, larger insulating cover is force fitted over the smaller cover to provide a completely insulated assembly.
