Abstract
Improvements and modifications to an electrical grid interconnector initially adapted for electrically and mechanically interconnecting conductors in parallel which improvements and modifications permit the electrical connector to additionally connect the two conductors in perpendicular relationship. The connector includes a C-shaped clamp body member which has a lower surface, a flat back surface and a downwardly curved upper surface. A wedge member, moved by screw means relative to the body member, works against the lower surface of the C-shaped clamp member. A slot is provided in the clamp body member extending from the lower surface thereof upwardly through the rear wall and curved top wall thereof. Alternate conductor interface inserts are provided which are positioned between the two conductors to be interconnected. The first insert includes parallel conductor engaging upper and lower surfaces and the second insert includes perpendicular upper and lower conductor engaging surfaces thus permitting the conductors to be interconnected in parallel when the conductors run parallel to the clamp body member by use of the first interface insert and to be interconnected perpendicular to one another with one of the conductors extending through the conductor slot when the second interface insert is utilized.
