Electrical connectors are provided for electrically coupling two electrical components. Opposing ends of the connector are coupled to each of the electrical components. At the first end, the connector is disposed in an opening of the first electrical component to establish electrical connection. The first end includes multiple contact portions that are biased with a non-linear spring force against the sides of the opening.

Electrical connector with non-linear spring force

An assembly includes a mounting bracket; a member; a guide disposed in the member; and a slider, the slider configured to move between a first position and a second position relative to the member, the slider being configured to move within the guide. The slider has a first end and a second end, the first end opposite the second end. The first end includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion configured to provide a contact for application of a force in a first direction and the second portion configured to provide a contact for application of a force in a second direction. The second direction is opposite the first direction.

Device insertion and removal method for electrical equipment

A power panel of an electrical distribution system including a bus stack with a plurality of conductive bars spaced from one another and a plurality of insulators, an electrical accessory is coupled to the plurality of bus bars, and each insulator includes a main body and a safety feature that extends from the main body. The safety features from adjacent insulators extend towards one another to define a gap sized to prevent insertion of a foreign object therein. The gap is further sized to permit insertion there through of a conductive component to establish an electrical connection between multiple bus bars and the electrical accessory.

Power panels including conductive clip assemblies and bus stack arrangements incorporating safety features

An apparatus includes a circuit breaker and mounting bracketry fastened to the rear side of the circuit breaker. The mounting bracketry includes first and second spacer portions extending rearward from a respective locations inside the width of the circuit breaker unit, first and second fixation portions extending outward from the first and second spacer portions, respectively, to respective positions outside the width of the circuit breaker, and first and second hook portions extending rearward from the first and second fixation portions, respectively. The circuit breaker may be mounted to an electrical enclosure with the first hook portion and the second hook portion engaging a mounting rail of the electrical enclosure.

Hanging bracket device for electrical equipment

A power panel of an electrical distribution system including a bus arrangement with a plurality of conductive bus bars. At least one electrical accessory is coupled to the plurality of bus bars and a plurality of clip assemblies are coupled to the plurality of bus bars and the at least one electrical assembly to establish an electrical connection there between. The clip assembly for use with the bus stack arrangement includes a metallic clip with a tang and a C-shaped section interconnected with and arranged opposite the tang and a biasing element coupled to the tang.

An electrical distribution system includes a housing coupled to a bus bar assembly. The bus bar assembly includes a plurality of bus bars and a plurality of insulators. The housing includes a rear wall defining a plurality of ports and a plurality of notches, and a plurality of sidewalls extending from the rear wall to a front of the housing, the rear wall and the plurality of sidewalls defining an interior space of the housing, the plurality of sidewalls cooperatively defining an opening opposite the rear wall, the plurality of bus bars aligned with the plurality of ports, and the plurality of insulators received in the plurality of notches. The system further includes a neutral connector, and a conductor electrically coupling the neutral connector to a bus bar of the plurality of bus bars through a port of the plurality of ports.

Electrical distribution system and methods of assembling same

An electrical distribution system is provided. The system includes a bus bar assembly including a neutral bus bar and a plurality of power bus bars. The system further includes a circuit breaker including a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the first end including a plurality of first conductive terminals electrically coupled to respective power bus bars, the second end including a plurality of second conductive terminals located a first distance from the plurality of power bus bars. The system further includes a neutral connection device including a first conductive terminal electrically coupled to the neutral bus bar, a second conductive terminal, and a conductive component, the neutral connection device second conductive terminal located a second distance from the neutral bus bar, the second distance one of greater than the first distance and equal to the first distance.
