A SWITCHGEAR DEVICE FOR MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN TWO BAYS AT MEDIUM OR HIGH VOLTAGE, AND A DISTRIBUTION SUBSTATION HAVING AT LEAST ONE SUCH DEVICE

摘要

A connection device for making electrical connection between medium or high voltage bays adjacent to each other, comprising: - a sleeve (20) of electrically insulating and elastically deformable material and defining a longitudinal axis (X"); - first and second connecting grippers (24) disposed inside the sleeve (20) on the longitudinal axis (X") the said first and second grippers (24) being arranged to connect, respectively, a contact piece (12) of the first bay (4) and a contact piece (12") of the second bay (4"); and - First and second split tubular springs (26) surrounding the first and second connecting grippers respectively, so as to exert a radial force.
