Abstract
An adapter plate is provided for connecting a first conductor pad with a first axis and a second conductor pad with a second axis where the pads have a common bolt pattern. The adapter plate includes a top and bottom surfaces, a first and second ends, a longitudinal axis defined between the ends, and first and second adjustable connectors. The first adjustable connector has arc-shaped slots extending through the top and bottom surfaces at the first end. Similarly, the second adjustable connector has arc-shaped slots extending through the top and bottom surfaces at the second end. The first adjustable connector is connectable to the common bolt pattern so that the top or bottom surface contacts the first conductor pad, while the second adjustable connector is connectable to the common bolt pattern so that the top or bottom surface contacts the second conductor pad.
