AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing splice connectors are limited by the number of ports they can accommodate, requiring replacement when electrical termination needs change, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs, and often necessitate deenergizing the system for conductor additions or removals.

Method used

A customizable splice connector with modular design allowing dynamic expansion or contraction of connection points through auxiliary ports and touch-safe operation, enabling connection and disconnection while live, without replacing the entire connector.

Benefits of technology

Facilitates flexible and efficient electrical connections by allowing addition or removal of ports without system deenergization, reducing waste and installation time, and ensuring user safety during live power handling.

Abstract

An electrical connector are disclosed for facilitating electrical coupling between multiple electrical conductors and busbars. The connector includes a housing defining conductor ports and a housing port, a busbar positioned within the housing for electrically coupling conductors, and an extension tab accessible through the housing port for electrical contact with a secondary busbar of another connector. A connector system comprises a first connector and a second connector, each with respective housings, busbars, and extension tabs, enabling mutual electrical coupling when the extension tabs are inserted into corresponding housing ports. The connectors may be structurally identical and support various configurations of port orientations.
