SAFE JUMPER METHODOLOGY UTILIZING SWITCH EMBEDDED CONNECTION CLAMPS

摘要

A clamp includes a first and second handle parts that are pivotable relative to each other and biased closed. A first electrical contactor is associated with the first handle part, and a second electrical contactor is associated with the second handle part. The first electrical contactor and the second electrical contactor are positioned such that in the closed position of the clamp, a circuit connection between the first electrical contactor and the second electrical contactor is open, and in the open position, the circuit connection is closed.

主权项

1. A clamp comprising:
a first handle part including a bussbar connector; a second handle part connected to the first handle part at a pivot joint, wherein the second handle part is pivotable relative to the first handle part to displace the clamp between a closed position and an open position; a spring connected between the first handle part and the second handle part, the spring biasing the clamp to toward the closed position; a first electrical contactor associated with the first handle part; and a second electrical contactor associated with the second handle part, wherein the first electrical contactor and the second electrical contactor are positioned such that in the closed position of the clamp, a circuit connection between the first electrical contactor and the second electrical contactor is open, and in the open position, the circuit connection is closed.
