AI Technical Summary
Existing voltage detection devices and systems face limitations in access and space due to the limited access and space provided by the dual independent electrical connections, and the need for a compact configuration that allows for dual independent electrical connections between voltage detection devices and power cables.
The insulation piercing connector provides a tandem system with a compact configuration that allows for dual independent electrical connections between voltage detection conductors and power cables, using a top and bottom half made of insulating materials, with a blade seal and fastener to secure the connection, and piercing blades that penetrate the insulation layer to establish electrical contact while preventing voltage leakage.
The solution enables secure, compact, and efficient dual independent electrical connections between voltage detection devices and power cables, ensuring effective voltage detection without leakage, and allowing for installation within or outside a control panel.
