Abstract:
An electrical assembly comprising a connection box having a first side wall, a second side wall, perpendicular thereto and meeting said first side wall to form a corner, an electrically conductive plate comprising a first surface mounted on said first side wall and a second surface mounted on said second side wall, said conductive plate extending on either side of said corner, said first surface being connected to a source of electricity by an external supply section;a junction block adapted for location in said connection box and having a power transmission section electrically connected to said second surface of said conductive plate by a power transmission harness, said transmission harness, at a supply end, electrically contacting a plurality of electrical elements,whereby electrical power is conducted from said source, through said supply section, through said conductive plate, through said transmission harness, and to said electrical elements,said supply section comprising a single wire extending from said source to said conductive plate and said transmission harness comprising:a single wire from said conductive plate to said transmission section,a first fixing bolt passing through said first surface of said conductive plate and said first side wall, and extending out of said connection box, a first nut on said first bolt, a first electrical contact between said first nut an said conductive plate, whereby said conductive plate is secured to said first side wall in electrical contact with said source of electricity,a second fixing bolt passing through said second surface of said conductive plate and said second side wall of said connection box, said second bolt extending out of said connection box, a second nut on said second bolt, a second electrical contact between said second nut and said conductive plate, whereby said conductive plate is secured to said second side wall in electrical contact with said transmission harness, anda generally rectangular attachment section having a width, parallel to said first side wall, a depth, perpendicular to said first side wall, and a height, perpendicular to said width and said depth, said first fixing bolt having an angular head with a first dimension no larger than said width, whereby said head is introduced into said attachment section and secured therein.
