An encapsulation for an interrupter, comprising:
- a main body that includes an internal cavity;
- said internal cavity including a space at a first end thereof for the interrupter;
- a second end of said main body including a surface for mounting said encapsulation;
- an insert assembly embedded within said second end for facilitating mounting the encapsulation;
- said insert assembly including a rigid connector and a plurality of fasteners fixed to said rigid connector.
A method of making an encapsulation for an interrupter, comprising the steps of:
- providing an insert assembly comprising a plurality of fasteners secured to a rigid connector;
- and
- molding a main body of the encapsulation around the insert assembly.
An encapsulation for an interrupter, comprising:
- a main body that includes a wall defining an internal cavity;
- the internal cavity including a space at a first end of the main body for the interrupter;
- the wall includes a surface at a second end of the main body for mounting the encapsulation to a frame;
- an insert assembly embedded within the wall at the second end for facilitating mounting the encapsulation to the frame;
- the insert assembly includes a rigid connector and a plurality of fasteners fixed to the rigid connector, the insert assembly being embedded within the wall such that each of the plurality of fasteners is spaced from the internal cavity and is flush with the surface.
