Abstract
Abstract A compressed-gas-insulated electrical high-voltage conductor assembly is comprised of a number of pressurized gas-filled rigid straight sections arranged in end-to-end relation. Each section is constituted by a length of a rigid metallic tubular member which encloses and supports centrally therein a rigid portion of the electrical conductor, and these rigid conductor-enclosing sections are joined together by means of short flexible sections of the tubular enclosing member and a corresponding flexible portion of the conductor thereby to enable the connected-together rigid sections to be bent through an angle of substantially 180* to facilitate transport from the fabrication point to a remote location for on-site installation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
A prefabricated electrical high-voltage conductor assembly comprising a plurality of rigid straight sections arrangeed in end-to-end relation, each of said sections being constituted by a rigid tubular member enclosing a rigid portion of a conductor supported centrally therein, flexible sections interconnecting the ends of adjacent rigid sections, each said flexible section being constituted by a flexible gas-tight tubular member connected to the end portions of said rigid tubular members and a flexible part of said conductor, said flexible sections enabling adjacently located rigid straight sections of said enclosed conductor assembly to be bent through an angle of substantially 180* for transport to an on-site installation point, and sleeve members surrounding said rigid tubular members and which are adapted to be slid into place oveR said flexible tubular members of said flexible sections following installation and unbending of the conductor assembly and thereafter secured to said rigid tubular members.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
148 words
A prefabricated electrical high-voltage conductor assembly comprising a plurality of rigid straight sections arrangeed in end-to-end relation, each of said sections being constituted by a rigid tubular member enclosing a rigid portion of a conductor supported centrally therein, flexible sections interconnecting the ends of adjacent rigid sections, each said flexible section being constituted by a flexible gas-tight tubular member connected to the end portions of said rigid tubular members and a flexible part of said conductor, said flexible sections enabling adjacently located rigid straight sections of said enclosed conductor assembly to be bent through an angle of substantially 180* for transport to an on-site installation point, and sleeve members surrounding said rigid tubular members and which are adapted to be slid into place oveR said flexible tubular members of said flexible sections following installation and unbending of the conductor assembly and thereafter secured to said rigid tubular members.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
