Provided is an electrical junction box that has a novel structure capable of stably preventing water from intruding into a case while simplifying the operation for connecting the electrical junction box and an external apparatus. An electrical junction box includes a circuit structure that includes a connection terminal for connection to an external apparatus, a case that has an insertion hole and houses the circuit structure, a relay terminal that is connected to the connection terminal, and includes an external connection portion that is inserted into the insertion hole and is exposed to the outside of the case, and a sealing member that is compressed between opposing surfaces of the insertion hole and the relay terminal and seals the insertion hole.

A boot for preventing unintended contact with live electrical components of a medium voltage control device. The boot having cover for accessing mechanical fasteners used to connect electrical conductors to control equipment when periodic maintenance is required.

Assembly for Clamping and Grounding Objects In various representative aspects, an apparatus for clamping and grounding solar panel frames to a mounting rail is disclosed herein. The apparatus comprises a fastener with an enlarged end, and a shank, with the enlarged end having one or more sharp protrusions that resemble teeth, and a washer with one or more sharp protrusions, and an opening. When installed, the shank is inserted through the opening of the washer, the sharp protrusions of the enlarged end penetrate either the lower or upper surface of the mounting rail and the sharp protrusions of the washer penetrate the other surface of the solar panel frames while at the same time creating a grounding path through the apparatus.

A conductor connecting structure includes: first and second conductors having terminal portions; a support having recessed portions; first screw members accommodated in the recessed portions; and second screw members that co-fasten the terminal portions of the first and the second conductors by screwing to the first screw members. The recessed portions have first and second wall surfaces that face each other in an opposing direction, and restricting surfaces along the opposing direction to restrict the rotation of the first screw members. The first and second wall surfaces configure a retaining portion to retain the first screw member before being screwed, and an allowable portion located closer to the inlet of the recessed portion. The distance between the first and the second wall surfaces in the allowable portion is greater than the distance in the retaining portion.
