ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR FOR INSTALLATION IN HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRIC CABLE POINTS FOR CONNECTION OF THE CABLE CONDUCTORS TO THE CONDUCTOR ELEMENT OF A HIGH VOLTAGE TERMINAL, AND, PERFECTING IN A SHIELDING SYSTEM FOR ELECTRIC CONNECTORS WITH A CASE

摘要

A shielded electrical connector for use in connecting a high voltage cable to a high voltage bushing has a receptacle at one end of the connector for receiving the bushing, a contact for connection to the bushing and a shield construction which includes a conductive sleeve at the one end of the connector and extending circumferentially around the receptacle, the sleeve extending axially along the connector and being electrically separated from the remainder of the shield such that upon energization the electrical potential difference between the contact and the sleeve is less than the electrical potential difference between the contact and the remainder of the shield.
