Abstract
An interconnect assembly for a switching assembly in which the switching assembly includes a bus bar and an electromagnetic switching device having a contactor bus. The interconnect assembly is structured to mechanically couple and electrically connect the contactor bus to the bus bar. The interconnect assembly includes a socket member structured to engage the bus bar, a post assembly that includes a post member structured to extend through the contactor bus, in which at least a portion of the post member extends into the socket member, and a locking member disposed on the post member. The locking member is structured to extend through and removably engage the socket member in order to mechanically couple and electrically connect the contactor bus to the bus bar.
