PRESSURE BALANCED CONNECTOR TERMINATION

摘要

A pressure-balanced sleeve assembly for an electrical cable termination is disclosed. The sleeve assembly (140) includes an outer sleeve (112a) surrounding the electrical cable (104); a chamber (114) defined between the outer sleeve (112a) and the electrical cable (104); dielectric fluid contained within the chamber (114); and a seal (118) that is positioned between the outer sleeve (112a) and the electrical cable (104) to delimit and seal an end of the chamber (114) to prevent the escapement of the dielectric fluid from the chamber (114), the seal (118) being moveable along the cable (104) in response to differences between a pressure within the chamber (114) and a pressure outside of the chamber (114). Also disclosed herein is a pressure-balanced electrical cable assembly and a method of pressure-balancing a termination of an electrical cable.
