  • Patent number: 6914439
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for accurately determining the presence of voltage at capacitive test points and for determining the phase angle relationship between two capacitive points. The detection of the presence of the voltage at the capacitive test points is independent of the voltage range in the systems, independent of the contamination or defects that may occur in the capacitive test point systems. The phase angle relationship is determined based on the actual phase angle difference between the voltage waveforms at the capacitive test points independent of the capacitive divider ratio difference and the capacitive test point voltage accuracy.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5280136
    Abstract: A terminator for a shielded high voltage cable comprising a thin-walled, flexible, elongate, insulating, elastomeric housing having a bore therethrough from a substantially closed first end providing a seal to an open second end having a skirt to protect the exposed neutral conductors of jacketed concentric neutral (JCN) cable and a plurality of rain sheds formed on the outer surface thereof. The bore has specified zones of different inner diameters to provide a seal about at least a portion of the exposed cable insulation and accept cable of various diameters while minimizing the installation forces encountered when installing the terminator. Various auxiliary devices can be employed to expand the terminator bore for installation and allow cold shrink of the terminator upon removal or repositioning of such devices after installation of the terminator on the cable.
