A wireless communication system base station () includes a base station transceiver () that has at least one operative component () for facilitating wireless communications. A current limiting device () includes at least one field effect transistor for selectively controlling current flow to a capacitive stability device () associated with at least one of the operative components (). In the disclosed example, the current limiting device () is in series with the capacitive stability device () but in parallel with the operative component ().

Apparatus is disclosed for supporting a beam having a longitudinal axis. The apparatus includes a clamping assembly that surrounds and grips a portion of the beam. The clamping assembly is relatively compliant to deflections of the beam in at least one direction transverse to the axis, but relatively resistant to axial displacements of the beam and to torsional rotations of the beam about the axis. The apparatus further includes at least one actuator situated externally to the beam and arranged to urge the beam in the compliant direction or directions.

A transfer switch to selectively transfer an electrical load from one high voltage source to another includes a shaft connected to a handle. Spaced close to opposite ends of the shaft are two circular slotted cams. Cam followers connected to opposite ends of a follower bar are inserted in the cam slot. The follower bars connected to the cam followers are connected to vacuum interrupter contacts (mechanical vacuum relays). The transfer switch is constructed so that as the cam is rotated the contacts connecting one high voltage source to the electrical load are closed and as the cam is continued to be rotated the contactors of the previously connected high voltage supply are subsequently released.
