Medium voltage motor control center springless finger cluster

An apparatus for electrically connecting components in a controller, said apparatus comprising:

• a stab having a cylindrical body and being electrically connected to a first electrical component;
• a conductive base adapted to connect to a second component;
• a plurality of members extending substantially perpendicular from said base and forming a cylinder having a longitudinal axis, said conductive base substantially planar and perpendicular to said longitudinal axis, such that said base defines a generally closed end of said cylinder, said cylinder having an open end opposite said base with a constricted throat adapted for engaging said stab, each of said plurality of members being resiliently deformable radially from said longitudinal axis, said plurality of members biased against said cylindrical body of said stab, said stab forming an electrical circuit with said plurality of members.

An apparatus for electrically connecting a contactor to a stab in a controller and having a friction fit with said stab, said apparatus comprising:

• a conductive hollow cylinder having a plurality of longitudinal slots, said cylinder being resilient and having a first end with a constricted throat having a throat diameter less than a diameter of said stab, said cylinder adapted to removably connect to said stab;
• and
• an end plate attached top a second end of said cylinder, said second end opposite said first end, said end plate being conductive and adapted to connect to an electrical component in said controller, said end plate being substantially planar and being perpendicular to said conductive hollow cylinder and substantially blocking said second end.
