Conductor capture mechanism for high cable density applications

A conductor capture mechanism for a power supply, comprising:

• a frame;
• an upper capture block disposed on an upper inner surface of the frame;
• a lower capture block disposed on a lower inner surface of the frame;
• an upper outer ramp disposed within an upper portion of the frame, the upper outer ramp configured to apply an upward pressure to a fastening component of a first power cable disposed between the upper capture block and the upper outer ramp;
• a lower outer ramp disposed within a lower portion the frame, the lower outer ramp configured to apply a downward pressure to a fastening component of a second power cable disposed between the lower capture block and the lower outer ramp;
• an upper inner ramp disposed adjacent to the upper outer ramp, the upper inner ramp configured to translate in a longitudinal direction;
• a lower inner ramp disposed adjacent to the lower outer ramp, wherein the upper inner ramp and the lower inner ramp are mechanically coupled together;
• and
• a ramp screw disposed between to the upper inner ramp and the lower inner ramp, the ramp screw configured to, as it is tightened, cause the upper inner ramp and the lower inner ramp to translate along the longitudinal direction, thereby causing the upper outer ramp to translate in the upward direction and the lower outer ramp to translate in the downward direction, thereby causing the upper outer ramp to apply the upward pressure against the fastening component of the first power cable and causing the lower outer ramp to apply the downward pressure against the fastening component of the second power cable.
