Abstract
A coupling sleeve for connecting cable ends of high-voltage DC cables by means of a connection body including control inserts for controlling the electric field, wherein the connection body is made of an elastomer, particularly a silicone elastomer. A cable system, particularly for high-voltage DC applications, including two cables and a coupling sleeve, as well as to a method for producing a coupling sleeve, and to a method for connecting two cable ends of two DC cables by means of a coupling sleeve.
Claims18
A coupling sleeve for connecting cable ends of high-voltage DC voltage cables by means of a connection body comprising control inserts for controlling the electric field, wherein
- the connection body is made of an elastomer, wherein
- the control inserts are arranged to be layered and insulated from one another, and wherein
- the control inserts are electrically conducting.
(canceled)
A cable system, characterized by two cables and a coupling sleeve for connecting cable ends of high-voltage DC voltage cables by means of a connection body comprising control inserts for controlling the electric field, wherein
- the connection body is made of an elastomer, wherein
- the control inserts are arranged to he layered and insulated from one another, and wherein
- the control inserts are electrically conducting.
A method for producing a coupling sleeve for connecting cable ends of high-voltage DC voltage cables by means of a connection body comprising control inserts for controlling the electric field, wherein
- the connection body is made of an elastomer, wherein
- the control inserts are arranged to be layered and insulated from one another, and wherein
- the control inserts are electrically conducting, wherein the method includes that the elastomer of the connection body and the control inserts are applied alternatingly by means of a 3D printer, and a three-dimensional coupling sleeve is thus generated.
A method for connecting two cable ends of two DC voltage cables by means of a coupling sleeve for connecting cable ends of high-voltage DC voltage cables by means of a connection body comprising control inserts for controlling the electric field, wherein
- the connection body is made of an elastomer, wherein
- the control inserts are arranged to be layered and insulated from one another, and wherein
- the control inserts are electrically conducting,
- wherein the method includes that the cable ends are stripped and the cable ends connected to one another, and the coupling sleeve is pushed onto a connection point.
