  • Publication number: 20220302613
    Abstract: A sheath-bonding link box includes a housing forming an enclosure defining an interior space. A plurality of electrically conductive connectors extend through the housing between an exterior of the enclosure and the interior space. The plurality of connectors each have an internal connecting portion positioned inside of the interior space and an external portion positioned outside of the enclosure. The internal connecting portion is electrically connectable to a functional link in the interior space. The external portion is dimensioned to be electrically connectable to a sheath-bonding lead. The internal connecting portions of the electrically conductive connectors and the functional links are mounted to at least one electrically insulating carrier unit. The carrier unit includes a plurality of receptacles, with each receptacle adapted to at least partly receive one of the functional links in an orientation along a longitudinal axis of the internal connecting portion of each connector.

  • Patent number: 10742015
    Abstract: A termination for a high-voltage electric cable includes an insulating housing, a fastening device fastening a first section of the termination to a mounting base, an electrical duct extending inside the insulating housing along a longitudinal axis of the insulating housing from the first section to a top end of the termination, the first section arranged between the top end of the termination and a second end of the termination, and a conductor shank disposed at the top end for fastening an electrical conductor to the electrical duct. The fastening device is a fastening ring that is electrically insulating and rigid. The electrical duct includes an electrically conductive tube and a connection portion attaching to a cable connector of the high-voltage electric cable. The fastening ring at least partly encompasses the electrical duct.

  • Publication number: 20030011362
    Abstract: The invention relates to a current transformer (1) for measurement and protection purposes in high- or medium-voltage power supply networks which include busbars guided in support insulators, which current transformer is characterized in that a busbar (3) is surrounded, in the range of the head (21) of a support insulator (2), in a spaced-apart relation by a non-closed ring (4) of magnetically conductive material which is arranged within the material of the support insulator (2); that the magnetic field sensor (5) is arranged, also within the material of the support insulator (2), in the gap between the open ends of the ring (4); and that the connecting leads (6) of the magnetic field sensor (5) are guided through the body (22) of the support insulator (2) as far as the base (23) thereof and are capable of being tapped there.
