A cable clamp system comprises a base assembly defining a base notch defining a notch axis and a carriage assembly defining a drive axis. The drive axis is substantially orthogonal to the notch axis.
G01R 15/14 - Adaptations providing voltage or current isolation, e.g. for high-voltage or high-current networks
H01R 4/2408 - Connections using contact members penetrating or cutting insulation or cable strands the contact members having teeth, prongs, pins or needles penetrating the insulation actuated by clamping screws
H01R 4/2406 - Connections using contact members penetrating or cutting insulation or cable strands the contact members having teeth, prongs, pins or needles penetrating the insulation having needles or pins
A clamp assembly comprises a base housing, an anchor member, at least one bracing member, an engaging member, and a clamp bolt. The anchor member supports the at least one brace member. The clamp bolt engages a threaded bore in the anchor member. When the at least one brace member is in an extended position, at least one set of brace teeth engages at least one set of base teeth to brace the at least one brace member against the base housing. When the at least one brace member is braced against the base housing, axial rotation of the clamp bolt applies a clamp force on the engaging member to clamp the cable between the engaging member and the base housing.
F16B 2/06 - Clamps, i.e. with gripping action effected by positive means other than the inherent resistance to deformation of the material of the fastening external, i.e. with contracting action
G01R 1/22 - Tong testers acting as secondary windings of current transformers
F16B 2/12 - Clamps, i.e. with gripping action effected by positive means other than the inherent resistance to deformation of the material of the fastening external, i.e. with contracting action using sliding jaws
F16B 21/06 - Releasable fastening devices with snap action
H01R 4/2483 - Connections using contact members penetrating or cutting insulation or cable strands the contact members penetrating the insulation being actuated by screws, nuts or bolts penetrating the area under the screw tip

Line-mounted electrical energy measurement device with integrated voltage pickup and clamp
A tap assembly for a measurement device has a clamp base, a main assembly, a piercing member, a clamp member defining an anchor surface, and a bolt member defining a shaft portion and a head portion. The clamp base has a brace portion defining a bolt opening. The piercing member is supported by a contact plate of the main assembly. The clamp base is attached to the main assembly to define a clamp notch. The contact plate is adjacent to the clamp notch. The shaft portion of the bolt member extends through the bolt opening and engages the anchor surface. At least a portion of the conductor is arranged within the clamp notch between the clamp member and the piercing member such that axial rotation of the bolt member displaces the clamp member towards the piercing member to cause the piercing member to engage the conductor.
H01R 4/26 - Connections in which at least one of the connecting parts has projections which bite into or engage the other connecting part in order to improve the contact
H01R 4/42 - Clamping area to one side of screw only
09 - Scientific and electric apparatus and instruments
