Cable lead-in for encapsulated electrical equipment

A cable lead-in arrangement for encapsulated electrical equipment, the arrangement being of the type having an elastically compressible sealing member which surrounds the cable and is braced between the cable and a housing of the equipment, the arrangement further comprising:

• a plurality of contact elements in the form of endless bands inserted in the housing of the equipment for contacting respective conductor elements of the cable, said sealing member having a longitudinal axis and a surface region provided with a plurality of windows longitudinally staggered with respect to one another relative to said axis and angularly spaced from one another, said conductor elements having terminal portions inserted through said sealing member to extend through respective ones of said windows to said surface region, said endless bands being longitudinally spaced from one another in a direction parallel to said axis at distances corresponding to the longitudinal distances between said windows;
• and
• compression means for applying a compression force to said sealing member.
