electrical connector with adaptor for electrical cables under lead to oil fluid isolates with paper and method for sealing terminal

摘要

An electrical connector of the type employing a premolded elastomeric component part has an adaptor which is placed at the terminus of an electrical power distribution cable of the oil-filled type including a conductor, a paper insulator and a lead jacket, to seal the terminus and enable installation, in the field, of the electrical connector for use in an electrical power distribution system. The adaptor includes a sleeve portion of insulating material for placement over the cable insulation, a conductor-sealing portion for receiving the conductor of the cable and a jacket-sealing portion for juxtaposition with the lead jacket to seal the juncture between the lead jacket and the adaptor.
