Electrical connecting system

An electrical connecting system, comprising:

• an electrical assembly including:
• a stationary installation comprising a panel and a pair of frusto-conical electrical bushings affixed to said panel, and
• a U-member comprising a pair of parallel legs each containing a frusto-conical receptor for removably receiving a respective one of said bushings to make electrical connection between said bushings, and
• driver means affixed to said electrical assembly and engageable with both said stationary installation and said U-member for applying a force to said U-member at a location disposed generally midway between said legs to selectively remove and insert said U-member with respect to said bushings,
• wherein said stationary installation comprises an entry bushing, and a feed-through bushing member comprising first and second feed-through bushings electrically interconnected by a buss, said entry bushing and said first feed-through bushing constituting said pair of bushings to which said U-member is connected.

An electrical connecting system, comprising:

• an electrical assembly including:
• a stationary installation comprising a panel and a pair of frusto-conical electrical bushings affixed to said panel, and
• a U-member comprising a pair of parallel legs each containing a frusto-conical receptor for removably receiving a respective one of said bushings to make electrical connection between said bushings, and
• driver means affixed to said panel and engageable with said U-member for applying a force to said U-member at a location disposed generally midway between said legs to selectively remove and insert said U-member with respect to said bushings, said driver means comprising cam means disposed adjacent to said U-member for applying a force thereto for removing said U-member from said pair of bushings, and a lever carrying means for applying a force to said U-member for inserting said U-member onto said pair of bushings.

An electrical connecting system comprising:

• a panel,
• a frusto-conical entry bushing affixed to said panel,
• a feed-through bushing member affixed to said panel and including first and second frusto-conical feed-through bushings electrically interconnected by a buss,
• a U-member comprised of parallel legs, each leg carrying a frusto-conical receptor, said receptors being interconnected by a buss, said receptors configured for removably receiving said entry bushing and said first feed-through bushing, respectively,
• means attached to said second feed-through bushing for connecting a power cable to said second feed-through bushing, and for grounding said power cable, and
• driver means for selectively inserting and removing said U-member with respect to said entry bushing and said first feed-through bushing while said power cable remains grounded.

An electrical connecting system, comprising:

• an electrical assembly including:
• a stationary installation comprising a panel and a pair of frusto-conical electrical bushings affixed to said panel, and
• a U-member comprising a pair of parallel legs each containing a frusto-conical receptor for removably receiving a respective one of said bushings to make electrical connection between said bushings, and
• driver means affixed to said panel and engageable with said U-member for applying a force to said U-member at a location disposed generally midway between said legs to selectively remove and insert said U-member with respect to said bushings, said driver means comprising cam means disposed adjacent to said U-member for applying a force thereto for removing said U-member from said pair of bushings,
• wherein said cam is actuated by a lever, said lever carrying a spring-biased element movable into engagement with said U-member for inserting said U-member onto said pair of bushings.
