摘要

A DRY- TYPE CABLE TERMINATION DEVICE WITH BURSTING DISCS AND PROTECTIVE CAGESA dry-type cable termination device (1) comprising: an end structure (5), and an elongated insulator housing (3) extending from the end structure (5), wherein the end structure (5) comprises a plurality of bursting discs (5a), wherein the bursting discs (5a) are arranged to provide fluid-tight sealing of the end structure (5) under normal internal operating pressure and to rupture above a threshold internal pressure to provide pressure relief inside the dry-type termination device (1), wherein the end structure (5) comprises a protective cage (5b) configured to prevent a bursting disc (5a) from flying away in an uncontrolled manner in the event that the internal pressure exceeds the threshold internal pressure.
