Abstract
A method of fabricating a compressed gas insulated cable which includes the steps of securing an electrical conductor to an insulating spacer; securing the spacer to a sheath section which forms a portion of circumference of the outer sheath of the gas insulated cable; and then sealingly securing the sheath sector together to form the outer shell.
Claims11
A method of fabricating a compressed gas insulated cable including a cylindrical electrical conductor disposed within a cylindrical opening formed in a post spacer, said spacer supporting said conductor within a substantially cylindrical outer sheath, and an insulating gas electrically insulating said conductor from said sheath, said sheath being formed of a plurality of sheath sectors each of which forms a portion of the circumference of said sheath, said method comprising:
- inserting said conductor within said post spacer opening;
- securing said spacer to one of said sheath sectors;
- and
- sealingly securing said sheath sectors together to form said outer sheath.
A method of fabricating a multiconductor compressed gas insulated transmission line wherein a plurality of cylindrical electrical conductors are supported within a generally outer cylindrical sheath by a plurality of post spacers with an insulating gas electrically insulating said conductors from said sheath and from each other, said sheath being formed from a plurality of sheath sectors each of which forms a portion of the circumference of said sheath, each of said conductors having a spacer and a sheath sector associated therewith, said conductors being disposed within cylindrical openings formed within said post spacers, said method comprising:
- inserting each of said conductors within the opening formed in said post spacer associated therewith;
- securing each of said spacers to said sheath sector associated therewith;
- and
- sealingly securing said sheath sectors together to form said outer sheath.
