OPTIMALLY SHAPED BUS CONNECTOR

摘要

Power connectors (14) and switchgear assemblies (12) are presented herein. A power connector (114) is disclosed for electrically coupling a circuit breaker (10) to an electrically conductive bus bar. The connector includes a fork-shaped head (116) for electrically connecting to the circuit breaker, and a base (118) for electrically connecting to the bus bar. A yoke (120) extends between and connects the base to the fork-shaped head. The yoke has a transverse cross-section (136) with a length (LI) that is greater than a width (Wl). The length and/ or width of the transverse cross-section varies (LI', Wl') between respective ends of the transverse cross-section.
