Abstract: A sealing system includes: at least one sheath having: a sheath cable entrance, a sheath cable exit, a sheath cable passage extending from the sheath cable entrance to the sheath cable exit, a first sheath section having a first sheath section diameter, and a second sheath section having a second sheath section diameter, the second sheath section diameter being larger than the first sheath section diameter; and a cable insertion guide insertable into the sheath cable passage, the cable insertion guide having a first guide section with a first guide section diameter. The first guide section diameter is larger than the first sheath section diameter. Insertion of the cable insertion guide into the sheath cable passage so as to dispose the first guide section within the first sheath section enlarges the first sheath section diameter.

Abstract: A fuse assembly having a displaceable pin assembly secured within a cap bore of an end cap of the fuse assembly. The displaceable pin assembly can include a plunger that is selectively displaceable along an axis that is non-parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the first end cap. The plunger can be selectively displaceable between an extended position at which at least a first end of the plunger is outwardly positioned away from an outer surface of the first end cap, and a recessed position at which the first end of the plunger is recessed within, or generally aligned with the outer surface of, the first end cap. The displaceable pin assembly can also include a biasing element that can bias the plunger to the extended position, and a support body that can house at least a portion of the plunger and be securely coupled to the cap bore.

Abstract: A grounding ring includes: a first clamping member having a radially inward side and a radially outward side, the radially outward side at least in part defining a channel; and a second clamping member disposable within the channel so as to prohibit the second clamping member from moving in an axial direction with respect to the first clamping member, the second clamping member being rotatable with respect to the first clamping member within the channel about the axial direction.

Abstract: A fuse assembly having an end cap that includes a recessed retention body. The recessed retention body can include first and second retention walls and an engagement surface. The first and second retention walls can extend at least in a generally outwardly direction from the retention surface to an outer surface of the end cap, and extend between first and second ends of the first end cap in a direction that is generally parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the fuse assembly. The engagement surface can have one or more walls that downwardly and outwardly extend in divergent directions from an apex of the engagement surface and toward a corresponding one of the first or second retention walls. The apex can be positioned at a central location between the first and second retention walls, and extends in a direction that is generally parallel to the central longitudinal axis.

Abstract: An integrally formed interface seal, including a base including a sidewall configured to surround at least a portion of a disconnector switch housing configured to house an interface pad, a first lip extending inward relative to the sidewall, and a second lip from the first lip and away from the first lip parallel to the sidewall. The second lip is configured to be compressed against the disconnector switch housing to hermetically seal a conductor secured to the interface pad from an external environment.
