Customizable power utility connectors and methods and connections including same

摘要

A transverse wedge connector system comprising: • a first connector member with a first body having a first channel portion defining a first channel to receive the first conductor and a first abutment portion • a second connector member with a second body having a second channel portion defining a second channel to receive the second conductor and a second abutment portion • an insert member configured to be selectively mounted in the first channel and defining an insert member channel to receive the first conductor when the insert member is mounted in the first channel • a clamping mechanism selectively operable to displace the first and second connector members relative to one another from an open position to a closed position to clamp the first conductor between the first channel portion and the second abutment surface, and to clamp the second conductor between the second channel portion and the first abutment portion to thereby form a connection.
