Abstract
Abstract A shielded electrical connector for a high voltage cable having a section of the cable insulation removed to expose a conductor, the connector including an electrically insulating member surrounding the cable insulation and conductor, and an electrically conductive shield surrounding said insulating member. The conductive shield is formed from a layer of electrically conductive material and a metallic mesh, the shield being bonded to the outer surface of the insulating member. A disconnect assembly can be provided for selectively connecting and disconnecting the shield to the cable.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
A cable connector for a high voltage cable having a cable sheath, said connector comprising, an electrically insulating member adapted to be mounted on the cable and having an interference fit therein, an electrically conductive shield on the outer surface of said insulating member, said shield being formed from an electrically conductive low resistance metallic mesh and a layer of electrically conductive high resistance resilient material, and electrically conductive means for grounding said shield and metallic mesh to the cable sheath whereby high fault currents present in the cable are grounded through the cable sheath.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
95 words
A cable connector for a high voltage cable having a cable sheath, said connector comprising, an electrically insulating member adapted to be mounted on the cable and having an interference fit therein, an electrically conductive shield on the outer surface of said insulating member, said shield being formed from an electrically conductive low resistance metallic mesh and a layer of electrically conductive high resistance resilient material, and electrically conductive means for grounding said shield and metallic mesh to the cable sheath whereby high fault currents present in the cable are grounded through the cable sheath.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The connector according to claim 1 wherein said metallic material is embedded in said layer of electrically conductive resilient mesh.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
The connector according to claim 1 wherein said metallic mesh is mounted in tight engagement with the outer surface of said insulating member and said resilient layer completely covers the mesh and the outer surface of said insulating member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
The connector according to claim 1 wherein said grounding means comprises a conductive disconnect assembly partially embedded in said shield in direct contact with said mesh and adapted to be connected to the semi-conductive sheath of the cable.
