600-AMP hot stick-operable pin-and-socket assembled connector system.

摘要

An apparatus bushing (26) is fixed to a support wall or the wall of the apparatus housing and is electrically coupled to the apparatus within. A high voltage cable is fixed to the single leg of a 600-Amp "T" connector (50) and is supported only by a bracket (74) extending from said apparatus bushing (26) to one (56) of the "T" legs. A removable pin-and-socket applied link member (150) selectively couples the remaining "T" leg (54) to the apparatus bushing (26) whereby power passes between the apparatus and high voltage cable only when said link (150) is present and isolates said cable and apparatus when it is absent. A novel operating assembly (134) assures proper contact between the link sockets and the pins of the apparatus bushing extender and the 600-Amp "T" connector (50) and can be arranged to positively separate the link assembly. The operating assembly (134) can also be used to install and remove a cap assembly when the electrical link (150) is not in place.
