Busway joint with a securing system

A system comprising:

• a busway portion comprising:
• a busway housing comprising a first end and a second end;
• and
• one or more busway electrical conductors mounted to the busway housing, each of the busway electrical conductors extending from the first end of the busway housing and from the second end of the busway housing;
• a busway joint comprising:
• a first base portion comprising:
• a first exterior side, and a first interior side, wherein the first base portion comprises a first pressure plate;
• a second base portion comprising:
• a second exterior side, and a second interior side that faces the first interior side, wherein the second base portion comprises a second pressure plate;
• at least one electrically conductive assembly comprising:
• a first joint electrical conductor;
• and a second joint electrical conductor separated from the first joint electrical conductor by a space, wherein the space is configured to receive one of the one or more busway electrical conductors;
• and
• a securing assembly comprising:
• a connection element that comprises a body that passes through the busway joint, the body comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is on the first exterior side of the first base portion and the second end is on the second exterior side of the second base portion;
• a cam assembly on the first end of the connection element, the cam assembly comprising a cam body configured for rotation between a released position and a closed position;
• a locking element on the second end of the connection element;
• and
• a spring element between the locking element and the second exterior side, wherein rotating the cam body between the released position and the closed position changes an extent of the space.

A securing system for a busway joint, the securing system comprising:

• a bolt comprising:
• a bolt head;
• and
• a bolt body that extends from the bolt head through a center of a busway joint, the bolt body comprising a smooth exterior portion and a threaded end, the bolt body configured for insertion through the busway joint;
• a cam assembly comprising:
• a cam body mounted to the bolt head;
• and
• an operating interface on the cam body, the operating interface configured to rotate the cam body to apply a force to a first exterior side of the busway joint;
• a spring element configured for mounting onto the smooth exterior portion of the bolt body;
• and
• a locking element configured for connection to the threaded end of the bolt body with the spring element between the locking element and a second exterior side of the busway joint.

A busway joint comprising:

• a first base portion comprising:
• a first exterior side, and a first interior side;
• a second base portion comprising:
• a second exterior side, and a second interior side that faces the first interior side;
• at least one electrically conductive assembly between the first interior side and the second interior side, wherein the at least one electrically conductive assembly comprises:
• a first electrical conductor;
• and a second electrical conductor separated from the first electrical conductor by a space;
• a securing assembly comprising:
• a connection element that couples the first base portion and the second base portion, wherein the connection element comprises a bolt, the bolt comprising a bolt head and a bolt body that extends from the bolt head;
• a cam assembly at a first end of the connection element, the cam assembly comprising a cam body configured for rotation between a released position and a closed position;
• a locking element, wherein the cam body is attached to the bolt head at a rotation mount, and the bolt body extends through the busway joint;
• and
• a spring element between the locking element and the second exterior side, wherein rotating the cam body between the released position and the closed position changes an extent of the space, and the locking element and the spring element are mounted on the bolt body;
• and
• a first washer between the cam body and the first exterior side;
• and a second washer between the spring element and the second exterior side.

A securing system for a busway joint, the securing system comprising:

• a bolt comprising:
• a bolt head;
• and
• a bolt body that extends from the bolt head, the bolt body comprising a smooth exterior portion and a threaded end, the bolt body configured for insertion through a busway joint;
• a cam assembly comprising:
• a cam body mounted to the bolt head;
• and
• an operating interface on the cam body, the operating interface configured to rotate the cam body to apply a force to a first exterior side of the busway joint;
• a spring element configured for mounting onto the smooth exterior portion of the bolt body;
• and
• a locking element configured for connection to the threaded end of the bolt body with the spring element between the locking element and a second exterior side of the busway joint, wherein the cam body comprises two identical lobes and the operating interface comprises a handle connected to the two identical lobes, the bolt body is centered between the two identical lobes, and the handle is configured to be rotated by hand and without the use of tools.
