20150372460 | ARC RESISTANT SHUTTERS - A connection system for connecting electrical devices to busses within a switchgear cabinet includes an independently movable shutter that slides along a bus bar, the shutter covering access to the bus bar in a disconnected position and allowing access in a connected position. The bus bar has an insulator cap covering its free end. The shutter is mounted to a spring-biased support. The shutter has an opening through which the bus bar passes. The shutter slides along the bus bar backwardly away from the insulator cap, in the connected position. The shutter slides forwardly along the bus bar toward the insulator cap, in the disconnected position. The insulator cap fits closely within the opening in the shutter to prevent access to the bus bar when in the disconnected position. The shutter can fit within arc attenuating phase barriers surrounding each bus bar and be constructed to be arc resistant. | 12-24-2015 |

20120314340 | OPTIMALLY SHAPED BUS CONNECTOR - Power connectors and switchgear assemblies are presented herein. A power connector is disclosed for electrically coupling a circuit breaker to an electrically conductive bus bar. The connector includes a fork-shaped head for electrically connecting to the circuit breaker, and a base for electrically connecting to the bus bar. A yoke extends between and connects the base to the fork-shaped head. The yoke has a transverse cross-section with a length that is greater than a width. The length and/or width of the transverse cross-section varies between respective ends of the transverse cross-section. | 12-13-2012 |
20150015997 | PASSIVE ARC PROTECTION FOR MAIN BREAKER LINE SIDE POWER CONDUCTORS - In a switchgear cabinet, the line side power conductors upstream of the main breaker are surrounded with are attenuating/extinguishing channels and protective conduit in a location prior to the conductor's attachment to the main breaker. Thus, passive arc attenuation can be had prior to the breakers, Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) levels can be predicted and controlled, and the need for action by circuit breakers during an arcing event is substantially lessened. | 01-15-2015 |

20130279083 | PASSIVE ARC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH A FLUE CHAMBER - In an electrical distribution cabinet a mechanism providing quick, reliable, passive arc blast control has a flue chamber surrounding the likely arc site such as an electrical connection point. The flue chamber provides a flue channel which lengthens the arc and attenuates the current and temperature until the arc is extinguished. Preferably, the flue chamber and channel are formed of opposable open-faced polyhedral structures, one fitting inside the other. The mechanism is particularly suited for draw-out circuit breaker connections in a switch gear cabinet. | 10-24-2013 |
