Abstract
The present invention relates to a connection system for electrical cables which operate under vacuum and carry high-voltage electric pulses or currents. This connection system comprises a grounded outer metal shell connected to the cables' metal sheath and a dielectric insulating sleeve, said sheath and sleeve enclosing the cables to be connected, and said system is fitted with seals allowing subtending a sealed cavity between the cables' insulating sleeve and insulating sheath.
Claims10
A connection system for electrical coax(ial) cables (5, 6) each consisting of an inner conductor (8) and of an insulating sheath (9) which are enclosed in a metal sheath (12), the design of said connection system comprising a grounded outer metal shell (1) connected to the cables' metal sheaths and a dielectric insulating sleeve (2), both configured around the ends of the cables which must be hooked-up to each other,
- characterized in that
- said connection system also comprises a first seal situated on the end of at least one of the cables to be hooked up and on its insulating sheath, and a second seal on at least one end of the insulating sleeve (2) in order to bound a sealed cavity between said insulating sleeve and the cable's insulating sheath.
