  • Patent number: 6737587
    Abstract: The invention relates to an outdoor sealing end (8) which is elevated on one side. Means (18) for fixing the cable (10) are designed on the base fittings (20). An electric duct (32) is situated inside the sealing end. Additional, conventional means for electrically connecting the cable shield to the earth potential and means for the field control (field control body 33) and the insulation on the inhomogeneous potential transitions on the cable end are provided. The electric duct (32) that is embodied as a pipe or pin is connected to the cable conductor (12) by means of contact elements (42). The duct (32), the insulating body (50) and the top fittings (70) form an assembly unit. The surface of the sealing end is coated with a voltage-dependent field-controlling layer (64).

  • Patent number: 6227908
    Abstract: Electrical interconnection arrangements are provided for connecting together two pieces of electrical equipment. A first connection component includes a first elongate conductive member, which in use is at a relatively high voltage, enclosed within insulating material. A portion of the first conductive member protrudes at one end beyond an end surface of the insulating material. The other end of the first member is arranged for electrical connection with one of the pieces of electrical equipment. One end of the first conductive member has an enlarged radiussed region within the insulating material adjacent the protruding portion to provide electrical stress relief at the exposed surface of the insulating material. A second connection component includes a second elongate conductive member enclosed within insulating material which has a socket exposed at an end surface thereof for receiving the protruding end of the first conductive member.
