Abstract:
A medium voltage controller for electrical equipment, such as motors, transformers, reactors, and capacitors, having an arc resistant cabinet, swaged internal electrical connectors, a one-piece self-aligning withdrawable finger cluster, a pull-out instrument compartment, a load discharge device, cast fuse holders, disconnect switch, a switch illuminator, low power current transformers, and an optical temperature measuring system. Internal electrical connections between controller components are made with connectors and cables. The cable conductors are swaged or compression welded in the connector barrels, forming a cold-welded electrical and mechanical junction.
