Abstract: A power distribution connector is configured to connect an electrical cable to at least three electrical interfaces. The connector includes a housing with first and second sections. The first section includes a first electrical interface disposed at a first end of the first section and a second electrical interface disposed at a second end opposite the first end. The second section forms a T-shaped intersection with the first section between the first and second electrical interfaces. The second section includes a distal end opposite the T-shaped intersection, the distal end being configured to receive the electrical cable; and a third electrical interface oriented parallel to the first section, disposed adjacent to the second electrical interface, and extending a distance from an axis of the second section that is less than or equal to a distance from the axis of the second section that the second electrical interface extends.

Abstract: A female electrical connector for use in a separable connector assembly is provided. The female electrical connector includes an elongate insulative body and a female contact disposed within the body. The female electrical connector also includes a tubular support sleeve extending between a first end and a second end. The first end of the tubular support sleeve is connected to the female contact. The tubular support sleeve defines a cavity at the second end. The female electrical connector further includes an insulating coupling connected to the second end of the tubular support sleeve. The insulating coupling includes an insulating sleeve that is moveable between a retracted position, where the insulating sleeve is retracted within the cavity of the tubular support sleeve, and an extended position, where the insulating sleeve extends outward from the cavity and away from the second end of the tubular support sleeve.

Abstract: A loadbreak bushing that includes a loadbreak trunk and at least one loadbreak leg. Opposing ends of the loadbreak trunk can include a first connection interface and a second connection interface, respectively, the first connection interface being configured to be matingly received in a bushing well. Each loadbreak leg, which can include a contact assembly having at least a female contact, can extend along a central leg axis from the loadbreak trunk to a third, or leg, connection interface, the central leg axis being slanted or diagonal relative to a central trunk axis of the loadbreak trunk. The third connection interface can be configured to be coupled to an elbow connector that is coupled to a power cable, among other electrical connectors, while the second connection interface can be configured to be coupled to a grounding elbow connector, among other electrical connectors and accessories.

Abstract: An electrical receptacle is provided. The electrical receptacle includes a housing including a cable port configured to engage a cable adapter. The cable adapter is configured to receive a cable. The housing further includes a transformer port configured to engage a transformer adapter. The housing further includes an access port configured to engage an accessory. The electrical receptacle further includes a central connector disposed within the housing. The central connector is configured to electrically couple to the cable when the cable adapter is engaged with the cable port, the transformer adapter when the transformer adapter is engaged with the transformer port, and the accessory when the accessory is engaged with the access port.
