Abstract
An device for changing the run direction of a pre-bussed rigid conduit electrical distribution system. The device has a number of electrical conductor assemblies which are substantially enclosed within a hollow housing. The housing has three legs which are integrally joined at a common point. Each leg has an associated end from which an equal length of each electrical conductor assembly extends. A uniform and continuous support is provided for that portion of each electrical conductor assembly which is enclosed within the housing.
Claims19
A device for changing the run direction of a sectionalized electrical distribution system, said device comprising:
- a) a housing defining a hollow interior and having a first leg, a second leg and a third leg, said legs being integrally joined together at a common junction in said housing, said housing having a first end associated with said first leg, a second end associated with said second leg and a third end associated with said third leg;
- b) a first electrical conductor assembly substantially enclosed within said housing;
- c) a second electrical conductor assembly substantially enclosed within said housing;
- d) a plurality of conductor supports each being integrally formed from said housing and wherein at least one of said supports extends generally between said common junction and each of said first, second and third ends;
- e) said first and second electrical conductor assemblies each having an end portion extending outwardly from each of said housing ends a predetermined and generally equal length;
- and
- f) means for continuously and uniformly supporting a portion of said first and second conductor assemblies intermediate said end portions and enclosed within said housing.
A device for changing the run direction of a sectionalized electrical distribution system, said device comprising:
- a) a first electrical conductor assembly;
- b) a second electrical conductor assembly;
- c) a housing defining a hollow interior for substantially enclosing said first and second electrical conductor assemblies and having a first leg, a second leg and a third leg, said legs being integrally joined together at a common junction in said housing, said housing having a first end associated with said first leg, a second end associated with said second leg, a third end associated with said third leg, said housing being divided into a first half and a second half such that each of said first and second halves includes one half of said first, second and third legs, and means integrally constructed from said housing generally along a longitudinal axis of each said leg for supporting and separating said first and second electrical conductor assemblies;
- d) said first and second electrical conductor assemblies each having end portions extending outwardly from each of said housing ends a predetermined and generally equal length;
- and
- e) means for continuously and uniformly supporting a portion of said first and second conductor assemblies intermediate said end portions and enclosed within said housing.
