A system and method for relocating branch circuit electrical cables which enter an existing electrical enclosure, and for which additional cable length is unavailable, to a novel enclosure presenting cable entry points favorably positioned to receive the existing branch circuit cables without additional length required, and in a manner considered safe and repeatable for multiple branch circuit cables to be relocated at present or in the future.

An electronic device includes a housing defining an exterior shape of the electronic device, a processor, a power supply structured to receive line power and to convert the line power for use by the electronic device, a storage unit structured to store data, and a number of data interfaces structured to receive a data connection. The electronic device has a particular form factor that is compatible with positions in a circuit breaker receiving area of a load center. The electronic device is structured to provide the functionality of at least one of a set-top box, a network data interface, a telephone base station, a security system hub and a home controller.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses provide power from multiple input power sources to adjacent outputs efficiently and reliably. Aspects of the disclosure provide a power distribution unit (PDU) that includes a number of power outputs including first and second adjacent power outputs. The PDU includes a printed circuit board having a first conducting layer electrically interconnected to a first power input connection and the first power output, a second conducting layer that is at least partially above the first conducting layer and in facing relationship thereto. The second conducting layer is electrically insulated from the first conducting layer and electrically interconnected with a second power input connection and the second power output, the first and second power outputs thereby connected to different power inputs.

Digital valve controllers and seal washer assemblies for use with digital valve controllers include a seal washer assembly. The seal washer assembly includes a body. The body has a bore. The seal washer assembly includes a flange. The flange is coupled to the body and includes a passage, a face-seal groove, and an exterior-seal groove. The seal washer assembly includes a face seal. The face seal is disposed within the face-seal groove. The seal washer assembly includes an exterior seal. The exterior seal is disposed within the exterior-seal groove.

For protecting wildlife from electrocution by high voltage components, dielectric covers are used to cover fuse cutouts, insulators, or other high voltage components. The cover includes through-holes for receiving retaining pins to secure the cover in place. The holes are the weak link in flashover prevention since the holes form an air gap, which has a breakdown voltage lower than that of the cover material. To prevent a bird's wing or a squirrel's tail from directly covering the hole in the surface of the cover, an arched or tubular hood is formed around each hole to block the bird or squirrel from directly covering the hole, reducing the risk of a flashover through the hole. The hoods extend out about 1-1.5 inches to essentially add a 1-1.5 inch air gap between the animal and the hole without enlarging the cover.

Disclosed herein is an apparatus for providing and monitoring a temporary electrical supply, which comprises a portable electrical panel with an array of circuit breakers, an array of electrical plugs for supplying a temporary source of electricity, and an array of amp and voltage meters that detect information needed for each corresponding phase. The Temporary Electrical Panel is supplied by a 50-amp cord and has a 40-amp main breaker. Each electrical plug is rated at 20 amps, tamper resistant, and GFCI protected, with a dedicated 20-amp breaker. The electrical plugs may also be color coded to differentiate which phase they are on. Additionally, the Temporary Electrical Panel comprises a plastic backing board with handle cut outs or a handle, which allow the Temporary Electrical Panel to be carried.

The invention relate to a bus bar holder having a bottom part and a top part detachably connected to the bottom part, between which, when they are connected together, at least one busbar passage is formed, wherein the top part and the bottom part have, on mutually opposite contact surfaces, sliding faces along which they bear against one another and are movable between an open position, in which the top part can be lifted off the bottom part, and a closed position, in which the top part is secured to the bottom part via a tongue-and-groove connection, wherein a releasable latching pawl secures the top part and the bottom part in the closed position. Also described is a corresponding arrangement made up of at least one such busbar holder and at least one busbar.

An electrical/electronics power distribution cabinet is disclosed which includes internal components enabling the cabinet to be quickly and easily reconfigured for allowing all cabling to exit an upper end of the cabinet or a lower end of the cabinet. The cabinet includes fully isolated top and bottom panelboard circuit breaker areas and a movable internal wall portion that helps to form an isolated compartment to route electrical cabling within the interior area of the cabinet, while keeping the cabling associated with the two panelboard circuit breaker areas fully separate from one another. This enables access to one of the top or bottom panelboard circuit breaker areas for service or reconfiguration without the need to access the other.
