Abstract:
1. An insulator assembly for a line conductor assembly of an electrical switching apparatus, said line conductor assembly including a line conductor having a first end, a second end and a raised portion therebetween; a cantilever member rigidly coupled to said raised portion and extending over a portion of said line conductor toward the second end of said line conductor and a stationary contact rigidly coupled to said raised portion and electrically connected to said cantilever member, said insulator assembly comprising: a first insulator member structured to be generally disposed near the first end of said line conductor; and a second insulator member structured to be generally disposed between said line conductor and said cantilever member near the second end of said line conductor, wherein said second insulator member comprises a number of interlock structures; and wherein said first insulator member comprises a number of arm members structured to extend generally along a portion of said raised portion toward said second insulator member, said number of arm members terminating in a number of interlock structures which are structured to fasteningly engage the number of interlock structures of said second insulating member.
