Connection between a device in a metallic sheath and a transformer

Claim 1

A connection between a device in a metallic sheath insulated by a gas under pressure and a transformer insulated by a dielectric liquid, said transformer including a capacitor bushing and said sheath concentrically surrounding the upper end of said bushing, said connection comprising: a jacket separating the the transformer from that of the device, the interior volume of the jacket being filled with a dielectric liquid at a low pressure and delimited by two surfaces, an interior surface constituted by the exterior surface of the capacitor bushing, and an exterior surface formed mainly by a frustoconical insulating wall shielding the capacitor bushing and penetrating into the metallic sheath, the frustoconical insulating wall comprising, at its base, an external flange having two concentric annular surfaces, one of said annular surfaces contacting the metallic sheath of the device and defining a sealing plane between the interior volume of the device under gas pressure and the atmosphere and the other of the annular surfaces defining with another part a sealing plane between the interior volume of the jacket filled with the dielectric liquid and the atmosphere.
