Abstract
A flat multiconductor cable power distribution system has a discrete wire multi-phase feeder, a main flat cable having at least four conductors, the cable being connected to the feeder to have plural phase energization. An insulation-piercing adapter overlies and is connected to the main cable and is energized with a selective one of the plural phases. In a particular arrangement, a secondary multiconductor cable is connected to the main cable by the adapter. A power outlet may be electrically connected to the secondary cable at the juncture of the main and secondary cables and the adapter.
