A cable neutral wires connector for connecting neutral wires of a cable, the cable having a cable longitudinal axis, includes a connector body, a plurality of neutral wire ports, and at least one securing mechanism. The neutral wire ports are defined in the connector body. The neutral wire ports are each configured to receive at least one of the neutral wires therethrough. The at least one securing mechanism is configured to secure the neutral wires in the connector body. The connector body is configured to be mounted on the cable such that the neutral wire ports are circumferentially distributed about the cable longitudinal axis.

A connector assembly for a vehicle charging system includes a first housing defining a charge port of the vehicle charging system and a second housing coupled to the first housing. The second housing is configured to receive an electrical wire including a power terminal therein. The connector assembly further includes a flexible tube coupled to the second housing and a phase change material disposed therein. The phase change material is configured to surround at least a portion of the electrical wire. The phase change material is configured to store heat energy from at least one of the electrical wire or the power terminal. The connector assembly further includes a cover coupled to the second housing for facilitating the injection of the phase change material into the flexible tube.

A conductor shielding termination assembly can include a housing tube defining an inner diameter housing channel therethrough and having housing threads on an outer diameter thereof. The housing tube can be made of conductive material. The assembly can include a shoulder bushing configured to insert within the inner diameter housing channel of the housing tube. The shoulder bushing can define an inner diameter bushing channel sized to receive an unshielded portion of a conductor. The assembly can include a jam nut comprising a nut inner diameter channel sized to receive a shielded portion of the conductor and nut threads on an inner diameter thereof configured to mesh with the housing threads. The jam nut and housing tube can be configured to trap a shielding termination within the meshed housing threads and jam nut threads.

A conductor shielding termination assembly can include a housing tube defining an inner diameter housing channel therethrough. The housing tube can be made of conductive material. The assembly can include a shoulder bushing configured to insert within the inner diameter housing channel of the housing tube. The shoulder bushing can define an inner diameter bushing channel sized to receive an unshielded portion of a conductor. The assembly can include a clamping assembly configured to clamp around the housing tube and/or the conductor to axially lock the housing tube and the conductor and to trap a shielding termination between the housing tube and the clamping assembly. The clamping assembly can form a clamping inner diameter channel sized to receive a shielded portion of the conductor.

A grounding clamp uses a spring driving a piston mounted movable jaw as a safety lockout. The movable jaw and a fixed jaw, which may include teeth, form a conductor clamp. The ground clamp mounts on the end of a hot stick to provide for electrically insulated remote operation of the ground clamp by a lineman holding the hot stick and pulling on, or releasing, a lever arm on the hot stick. The system provides increased safety for the lineman as the spring providing the spring loading of the clamp has a high spring force to overcome, thus providing the lockout. The lever arm on the hot stick tool provides mechanical advantage to overcome the spring force and thus release the lockout. The lineman cannot usefully operate the ground clamp manually without the hot stick due to spring force lockout.

A grounding attachment for use with a CRS Roller. The grounding attachment has a body having two arms. Each arm is pivotally attached to the body. The arms are configured to be biased downward onto a conductor positioned on the CRS Roller. Preferably a torsion spring biases the arms downward such that a roller attached to each arm rests on a conductor positioned within the radius block. Energy is conducted from the conductor, through the roller and arm to a grounding lug that is configured for a lineworker to attach a ground to the grounding device to allow the energy to reach the earth.

The present disclosure provides descriptions of configurations for bonding washers used to facilitate the electrical bonding of metal structures. The bonding washer includes an electrically conductive body and at least one piercing member extending from a bottom surface of the body. An extended member extends from the electrically conductive body in a direction away from the bottom surface of the body.

A connector assembly including a connector body with a spring clip including a first free end for engaging a side wall of an electrical box upon installation. During insertion of the connector body the first free end engages the knock-out hole perimeter and deforms so as to permit further insertion. An alignment rib also engages the perimeter to improve continuity between the connector assembly and the electrical box.

A shield member (10) disclosed herein includes a flexible conductor (12) that is electrically conductive and covers the outer surface of at least one covered wire (W); at least one ground conductor (20) that electrically connects the flexible conductor (12) to a body ground (G); an auxiliary shield conductor (30) that covers the outer surface of the ground conductor (20); and an auxiliary ground conductor (35) that electrically connects the auxiliary shield conductor (30) to the body ground (G).
