Gas insulated conductor assembly and method of assembling a housing of a gas insulated conductor assembly

摘要

Gas insulated conductor assembly comprising a housing for delimiting an insulating gas, the housing has a first housing section (102) and a second housing section (104) fitted with a first flange (106) and a second flange (108) respectively. Clamping surfaces of each flange are pressed towards one another by a clamp device (112). The clamp device (112) has at least one clamp member (114, 116), wherein the at least one clamp member has a first jaw surface and a second jaw surface. The first jaw surface cooperates with the clamping surface of the first flange and the second jaw surface cooperates with the clamping surface of the second flange. At least one of the first clamping surface, the second clamping surface, the first jaw surface and the second jaw surface has an oblique surface portion with respect to a radial plane such that the first flange and the second flange are pressed towards each other.
