Abstract
Various implementations of insulation piercing connectors are disclosed. The insulation piercing connectors may be used to attach dual independent electrical connections to a power cable for voltage detection purposes. In some implementations, an insulation piercing connector may include a top half, a bottom half, and a blade seal positioned between the top half and the bottom half. A threaded fastener may engage threads in a hole in a post on the bottom half. The threaded fastener may be tightened to compress the insulation piercing connector around a power cable.
