ADJUSTABLE BUS BAR FOR POWER DISTRIBUTION EQUIPMENT

摘要

A busbar assembly for interconnecting electrical equipment units is disclosed. The busbar assembly includes one or more conductors have a conductive rod. Each end of the conductive rod has an end forming a ball member. The busbar assembly also includes two or more connectors having a clamp mechanism to receive the ball member of the conductive rod. A fastener threadably couples with a conductor on an electrical equipment unit to rigidly secure the busbar assembly to the electrical equipment units.

1. A busbar assembly for interconnecting electrical equipment in a power distribution system comprising:
a conductor including a conductive rod surrounded by an insulator sleeve, the conductive rod having first and second ends extending from the insulator sleeve, each of the first and second ends having a ball member formed thereon; a first connector including a first insulator body having an interface configured to attach to a first electrical equipment unit and a first clamp mechanism disposed in the first insulator body and configured to electrically couple with the first electrical equipment unit, wherein the first end of the conductor is received in a first passage formed in the first insulator body such that the first ball member engages and electrically couples with the first clamp mechanism; and a second connector including a second insulator body having an interface configured to attach to a second electrical equipment unit and a second clamp mechanism disposed in the second insulator body and configured to electrically couple with the second electrical equipment unit, wherein the second end of the conductor is received within a second passage formed in the second insulator body such the second ball member engages and electrically couples with the second clamp mechanism.
