Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A modular electrical system ( 230 ) comprises a number of separate components forming a four-wire system ( 110 ). The component set ( 230 ) includes receptacle junction blocks ( 130 ), two-way connectors ( 232 ), four-way connectors ( 236 ), two-way jumper cable assemblies ( 234 ), and three-way jumper cable assemblies ( 238 ). The components of the component set ( 230 ) include various configurations of male blade terminals ( 150 ) and female terminals ( 200 ) located on the individual components so that a number of differing system configurations can be achieved.
