A cable duct assembly configured to retain an elongated cable is presented herein. The cable duct assembly includes a cover plate connected to a first sidewall and a second sidewall and a base plate pivotally connected to the first sidewall and the second sidewall. The first sidewall includes first arms that include lobe mechanisms and second arms that include rotation limiting portions.

The present disclosure is directed to multi-functional isolation pads that can be used in combination with both clamp-on cable trays and guide-on cable trays without any user manipulation (e.g., folding) of the isolation pad.

A prefabricated electrical module and system along with fabrication and installation methods are provided. The prefab electrical module includes a circuit breaker panel casing that houses multiple circuit breakers, and a chase extending upwardly from the panel casing that stows coiled lengths of homerun wiring attached to the circuit breakers. During transport, a temporary panel casing front cover protects the panel casing front, and a forwardly protruding guard cover with an upwardly projecting hoisting handle shields the front and top of the chase and wiring. During installation, a hoisting bracket is attached at the top of the stud bay into which the prefab electrical module will be installed. A drill-powered winch is then used to lift the module to the proper height in the bay. The panel casing, chase, wiring, and breakers remain in the wall. The hoisting bracket, temporary panel casing front cover, guard cover, drill, and winch are reusable.

Disclosed herein is an electrical outlet cutting jig that includes a ruler and a body having a lower perimeter, wherein the body includes a first channel defined along a first axis of the body. The body also includes a first level indicator and a second level indicator orthogonal to the first level indicator to enable a user to align the cutting jig correctly. The first channel is configured to receive the ruler such that a lower surface of the ruler is flush with the lower perimeter of the body and such that the ruler can slide within the first channel. The ruler enables the user to position the body of the cutting jig at a predetermined distance from a location, such as a door frame, floor, skirting board, or the like.

The cable assembly includes a first wire assembly. The first wire assembly is connected to a first connector and a second connector. The first connector includes a shell and the shell includes an extension. The extension extends away from the rear of the connector. In one embodiment, the extension is integral with the shell. The extension includes one or more openings. The first wire assembly is bent in a controlled manner at first bend. The first opening in the extension maintains the first wire assembly in the bent position to maintain control of the radius in first bend. The radius is controlled to allow the first wire assembly to fit in a small space.

A battery charging assembly includes a load management system, a charging cord with a battery connector, and circuitry for detecting thermal buildup. The load management system monitors the heat buildup in a coiled portion of the charging cord and issues a corresponding signal to control the current flowing through the cord.

An electrical control system, in particular for home automation systems, includes at least one electronic switching device including a switching module (10) which includes a switching circuit, including at least one controlled switch which allows a selective implementation of a switch configuration, a diverter configuration or an inverter configuration and a plurality of terminals which allow the connection of the switching module to an external electrical system. The switching module allows selective application of the switch configuration of the switching circuit or diverter configuration of the switching circuit or inverter configuration of the switching circuit to terminals in a partial way, or total way, or to implement a total separation to said terminals.

A wire harness support member supports a wire harness including a plurality of electrical wires on an attaching target member. The wire harness support member includes: a base attached to the attaching target member while surrounding at least a part of a periphery of the attaching target member; and at least one electrical wire holding member which can be position-adjustably fixed to the base around the attaching target member while holding at least some of the plurality of electrical wires.

A thermostat bracket assembly includes a bracket that has a first portion forming an angle with a second portion. The first portion can be mounted to a wall stud having the second portion oriented planar with a panel of sheetrock mounted to the wall stud. A pair of engagements is each integrated into the bracket and each of the engagements is aligned with an intersection between the wall stud and the panel of sheetrock. A thermostat wire is extended through a respective one of the engagements to inhibit the thermostat wire from being lost in the wall cavity.
