Patent ID: 8449310

Claim:
A high voltage link apparatus, comprising: a link assembly, comprising: an insulated bushing portion; a first feed thru junction bushing portion; and a second feed thru junction bushing portion, wherein the insulated bushing portion is electrically isolated from the first feed thru junction bushing portion and the second feed thru junction bushing portion, and wherein the first feed thru junction bushing portion is conductively coupled to the second feed thru junction bushing portion; a first bushing interface for conductively coupling to a first power cable; a second bushing interface for conductively coupling to a second power cable; and a third bushing interface for conductively coupling to a third power cable, wherein each of the first, second, and third bushing interfaces include link receiving portions configured to receive the link assembly therein, and wherein the link assembly is installable in the first, second, and third bushing interfaces in first and second orientations, wherein, in the first orientation, the insulated bushing portion is received in the link receiving portion of the first bushing interface, the first feed thru junction bushing portion is received in the link receiving portion of the second bushing interface, and the second feed thru junction bushing portion is received in the link receiving portion of the third bushing interface, and wherein, in the second orientation, the insulated bushing portion is received in the link receiving portion of the third bushing interface, the first feed thru junction bushing portion is received in the link receiving portion of the second bushing interface, and the second feed thru junction bushing portion is received in the link receiving portion of the first bushing interface.
