Abstract
Switchgear assemblies, power connection systems, and cluster connectors are presented herein. Power connection systems for connecting circuit breakers to electrical bus bars are disclosed. A power connection system includes an electrically conductive cluster support for attaching to the circuit breaker. The cluster support has a pivot projecting from a base, and a contoured latch projecting from the pivot. The system also includes a power connector for coupling to the bus bar. The power connector includes opposing pairs of electrically conductive fingers that are pivotably attached to a cage. Proximal end portions of the fingers are configured to straddle the pivot of the cluster support. Spring members bias the proximal end portions toward one another. The proximal end portions of the fingers cooperatively define a channel for receiving the pivot, and further define a slot for receiving the contoured latch to thereby secure the power connector to the cluster support.
