Abstract

Provided is an enclosure configured to house electrical equipment. The enclosure has an outer housing having an opening at one end and a lid to close the opening. The outer housing has an upper wall which defines a rim of the opening and a channel formation provided around an inner perimeter of the upper wall, below the rim. The outer housing further comprises at least one drainage port extending from the channel formation to an outer surface of the outer housing. In some examples the enclosure comprises a bracing member configured to support the lid. In some examples the enclosure comprises a mount for mounting the electrical equipment and a removeable inner housing configured to extend over and cover the mount. In examples a cover member is provided within the inner housing between the mount and an upper inner surface of the inner housing.

Abstract

The application discloses apparatus and methods for a high-voltage electrical connector. The connector connects a first electrical conductor to a second electrical conductor. The connector has a body portion and a securing portion, from either of which the first electrical conductor is adapted to connect to. The body portion and the securing portion at least in part define an engaging aperture into an interior of the connector. A tensioning means is also present to constrict and un-constrict the engaging aperture. The second electrical conductor is received into or out of the engaging aperture in a direction lateral to the connector. When it is received therein the engaging aperture substantially surrounds the second electrical conductor, and when so surrounded an electrical and physical connection, or disconnection, of the connector to the second electrical conductor is affected by the constriction or un-constriction.
