Electrical busway splice connector
First Claim
1. A busway splice connector comprising:
- a first connector and a second connector each defining a busbar volume for receiving a portion of two busbars;
a first housing defining a first compartment for receiving the first connector;
a second housing defining a second compartment for receiving the second connector;
an insulator configured to be positioned between the first housing and the second housing and to insulate the first connector from the second connector when the busway splice connector is assembled;
and wherein the first housing, the second housing and the insulator each define an aperture configured to be aligned when the busway splice connector is assembled and to receive a fastener for coupling the first housing, the second housing and the insulator to each other.

Abstract
A busway splice connector can include a first connector and a second connector. Each of the first connector and the second connector can define a busbar volume for receiving a portion of two busbars. The busway splice connector can also include a first housing that defines a first compartment for receiving the first connector. The busway splice connector can also include a second housing that defines a second compartment for receiving the second connector. The busway splice connector can also include an insulator configured to be positioned between the first housing and the second housing and to insulate the first connector from the second connector when the busway splice connector is assembled.

7. A busway coupler section usable as part of a busway splice connector or as part of a busway end feed coupler comprising:
-
a connector defining a busbar volume for receiving a portion of at least one busbar of a busway section; a housing defining a window and a compartment for receiving the connector; and a cover configured to be coupled to the housing to restrict access to the window when the cover is coupled to the housing such that the busway coupler section is usable as part of the busway splice connector when the cover is coupled to the housing and usable as part of the busway end feed coupler when the cover is not coupled to the housing. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A busway splice connector comprising:
-
a first connector and a second connector each defining a busbar volume for receiving a portion of two busbars; a first housing defining a first window and a first compartment for receiving the first connector; a second housing defining a second window and a second compartment for receiving the second connector; a first cover configured to be coupled to the first housing to restrict access to the first window; and a second cover configured to be coupled to the second housing to restrict access to the second window such that the busway splice connector can be used as the busway splice connector when the first cover and the second cover are coupled to the first housing and the second housing and can be used as an end feed coupler without inclusion of the first cover and the second cover. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
