Abstract: A welding cable has connectors at each end, and a plurality of electrical conductors extending through the cable from one connector to the other. An insulating element includes a tubular outer wall, and a plurality of wall portions extending radially in respective directions from the central portion to the outer wall, each conductor being disposed in a passageway defined by a respective pair of adjacent radial wall portions and a portion of the outer wall. The connectors at the ends of the cable facilitate a flow of cooling water through the passageways in the insulating element. The insulating element extends through a pair of axially spaced, tubular cover portions, each of which has one end clamped to a respective connector.

Abstract: A sleeve member is rotatably mounted on a socket sleeve, and the outer tube or hose of a liquid cooled cable is strapped to the sleeve member. The socket sleeve and the sleeve member are sealed and additionally the sleeve member is bolted to a split flange for retention of the sleeve member on the socket sleeve.
