20120026694 | Compartmentalized Pump Termination Enclosure for Multiple Pumps with Integral Load Disconnects - A Compartmentalized Pump Termination Enclosure for Multiple Pumps with Integral Load Disconnects assembly consisting of multiple compartments arranged so as to allow service of each individual load side compartment without exposure to line voltages while still maintaining operation of the other pumps within the pumping system. The assembly includes a plurality of load side disconnect compartments each including a lockable handle operator that that is interlocked with its corresponding load side compartment door. The handle operators are mechanically connected to the disconnecting devices via flexible cables or mechanical linkage. A key feature/distinction of this invention is that the disconnecting devices have their line and load side compartments segregated, so that when the handle operator is switched to the OFF position there are no components (e.g. disconnecting device and/or its conductors) within the load side compartment that remain energized by line voltage. The handle operator, when OFF, grants access to the load side compartment only. | 02-02-2012 |

The handle operators are mechanically connected to remote disconnecting devices via flexible cables or mechanical linkage. A key feature/distinction of this invention is that the disconnecting devices are not located in their corresponding motor controller compartments, so that when the handle operator is switched to the OFF position there are no components (e.g. disconnecting device and/or its supply conductors) within the motor controller compartment that remains energized by line voltage. | 05-24-2012 |
20130026856 | Electrical disconnect assembly with separate disconnect compartment, such that safety handle mechanism does not provide access to the disconnecting device or any energized parts or conductors. - An electrical disconnect assembly with separate disconnecting device compartment, such that safety handle mechanism does not provide access to the disconnecting device or any energized parts or conductors consisting of multiple compartments arranged so as to allow service of the load compartment without exposure to line voltages. The assembly includes a plurality of compartments with the load compartment having a lockable handle operator that that is interlocked with its corresponding compartment door. The handle operators are mechanically connected to the disconnecting devices via flexible cables or mechanical linkage. A key feature/distinction of this invention is that the disconnecting devices is remote mounted from the overcurrent protective device, so that when the handle operator is switched to the OFF position there are no components (e.g. disconnecting device and/or its conductors) within the load compartment that remain energized by line voltage. | 01-31-2013 |
