A split core current transformer (CT) includes a first CT core half and a first housing that houses the first CT core half. The split core CT includes a second core half and a housing that houses the second CT core half. The split core CT includes a first set of bushings configured to flexibly couple the first insulative body to the first housing to maintain contact between faces of the first CT core half and faces of the second CT core half.

Polymeric mounting suspension for a split core current transformer

The present disclosure relates to a fabrication process for a current transformer. For example, the process may include wrapping first windings around a first core half of a magnetic core of a current transformer. The process may include wrapping second windings around a second core half of the magnetic core. The magnetic core may be inserted into an overmold tool. The process may include overmolding a first overmold over the first core half of the magnetic core and a second overmold over the second core half of the magnetic core. After overmolding, the magnetic core may be cut in half.

Fabrication process to produce a toroidal current transformer

The present disclosure relates to ensuring contact between core halves of a current transformer. For example, a current transformer (CT) may include a split core comprising a first core half having a first plurality of faces and a second core half having a second plurality of faces. Each face of the first core half may contact a corresponding face of the second core half to allow magnetic flux to flow through the split core to induce current on windings of the CT. The CT may include a first housing that houses the first core half and a second housing that the second core half. The CT may include a biasing element that biases the second core half towards the first core half to ensure that each face of the second core half contacts the corresponding face of the first core half.

Two part clamping and suspension mechanism for a split toroidal current transformer

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods of locking a faulted circuit indicator (FCI). For example, the FCI may include a locking assembly. The locking assembly may include a lock plate that selectively moves between a locked position and an unlocked position. When in the locked position, the lock plate blocks a lock link of the FCI from moving in a first direction to prevent the FCI from opening. When in an unlocked position, the lock plate enables the lock link of the FCI to move in the first direction to allow the FCI to open.

Locking mechanism for a faulted circuit indicator

Disclosed herein are various systems and methods relating to communication devices that include modular transceivers, such as small form pluggable transceivers. According to one embodiment, a communication device may include a chassis defining an interior and an exterior of the communication device. The chassis includes a top, a bottom, and a plurality of sides that together with the top and the bottom form an enclosure. One of the sides may include a first segment disposed in a first plane and a second segment disposed in a second plane. The second segment includes an outwardly extending communication transceiver housing configured to receive a communication transceiver. The communication transceiver may extend through an aperture in the second segment and into interior of the communication device to contact an electrical connector, while a second portion of the communication transceiver in the communication transceiver housing remains on the exterior of the communication device.
