Abstract
Abstract A high voltage cable, which is insulated with a solid insulated material, preferably cross-linked polyethylene, is connected to a pressure-gas-insulated conductor by means of a cable termination apparatus comprising a metal enclosure filled with pressure gas. The cable end is provided with a contact socket and secured in the metal enclosure by means of a pull rod fixed to the contact socket and oriented substantially in the axial extension of the cable end. A sealing device encloses a portion of the contact socket and the adjacent portion of the high voltage cable insulation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
Cable termination apparatus for connecting at least one high voltage cable to at least one pressure-gas-insulated conductor, comprising: a cable conductor surrounded by a cable insulation of solid insulating material; a metal enclosure filled with pressure gas and receiving an end of said cable conductor; a contact socket fixed to the end of said cable conductor for interconnecting the high voltage cable and the pressure-gas-insulated conductor; a pull rod oriented substantially along the axial extension of said end of the high voltage cable, one end of said pull rod being fixed in relation to said metal enclosure, the other end of said pull rod being fixed to said contact socket.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
110 words
Cable termination apparatus for connecting at least one high voltage cable to at least one pressure-gas-insulated conductor, comprising: a cable conductor surrounded by a cable insulation of solid insulating material; a metal enclosure filled with pressure gas and receiving an end of said cable conductor; a contact socket fixed to the end of said cable conductor for interconnecting the high voltage cable and the pressure-gas-insulated conductor; a pull rod oriented substantially along the axial extension of said end of the high voltage cable, one end of said pull rod being fixed in relation to said metal enclosure, the other end of said pull rod being fixed to said contact socket.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
Cable termination apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a screw device for axially adjusting said pull rod and wherein said pull rod is made of insulating material, said one end thereof being fixed to said metal enclosure by means of said screw device.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
