A motor control unit for use in an electrical enclosure is provided, the motor control unit includes a connector stab assembly of a molded plastic housing having a base portion, at least one jaw connector cover extending from one side of the base portion and a corresponding bar cover extending from the other side of the base portion opposite the jaw connector. The jaw connector cover includes a pair of opposing u-shaped sidewall members. A metal bar is provided having a first end extending through the base into the jaw connector cover and a second end extending through the bar cover. The second end of the metal bar is adapted for connection to a wire conductor. A pair of jaw fingers extend from the first end of the metal bar and are partially enclosed in the jaw connector cover and are adapted to secure to a vertical bus bar. A pair of spring members are secured to the first end of the metal bar and engage each one of the jaw fingers for biasing the jaw fingers toward each other.
A connector stab assembly for a motor control unit, comprising:
A connector stab assembly for connecting a motor control unit to a vertical bus bar, comprising:
An anti-rotation clip for a motor control unit for preventing a wire conductor having a ring terminal attached thereto from rotating around a bolt which secures the ring terminal and said anti-rotation clip to a metal bar, the bolt extends through an aperture in the ring terminal and an aperture in the metal bar and is secured in place with a nut, said anti-rotation clip comprising a planar base portion having an aperture therein which is in general alignment with the aperture in the metal bar thereby allowing the bolt to pass therethrough and opposing side portions disposed on opposite sides of said base portion and overlapping the metal bar, said side portions having a pair of leg members extending outwardly therefrom, said leg members are adapted to receive the ring terminal therebetween thereby preventing the ring terminal from rotating.
