Abstract
The invention provides a modular electrical power transfer device that enables push-in, pull-out connection between electrical power supply wires and interface components. The electrical power transfer device includes at least two physically isolated electrical buses mounted within a non-conducting housing. Each electrical bus includes a blade connector and one or more wire shark-bite connectors. The wire shark-bite connectors can engage with electrical power supply wires, the resulting mechanical and electrical connections enable the electrical bus to receive power from the connected supply wires and redistribute electrical power to another device connected to the electrical bus. The blade connector can engage with a blade contact from an interface component, the resulting mechanical and electrical connections enable transfer of electrical power from the electrical bus to the interface component.
