Abstract
A system is provided for connecting a suppressor for eliminating interference from electrical appliances. The system comprises an electrical box provided with a fitting for receiving a suppressor. The suppressor includes a plurality of angularly spaced contact arms. Terminal bodies which define terminal spaces for receiving conductor ends are disposed around the fitting. Terminal screws are provided at the terminal bodies. To electrically connect the suppressor to the conductor ends, the suppressor is inserted into the fitting and then rotated until the contact arms overlie the terminal bodies. The terminal screws are then tightened to simultaneously clamp the conductor ends within the terminal spaces and to clamp the contact arms between heads of the terminal screws and backs of the terminal bodies.
