ELECTRIC CONNECTION

摘要

An electrical interconnection arrangement for connecting together two pieces of electrical equipment, comprising: (a) a first connection component (110) comprising a first elongate conductive member (114) which in use is at a relatively high voltage, enclosed within insulating material (116) and protruding at one end beyond an end surface thereof, the other end (120) of the first member (110) being arranged for electrical connection with one of the pieces of electrical equipment, wherein said one end of the first conductive member (114) has an enlarged radiussed region within the insulating material (116) adjacent the protruding portion (118) thereby to provide electrical stress relief at the exposed surface of the insulating material, and (b) a second connection component (112) comprising a second elongate conductive member (126) enclosed within insulating material (128) and having a socket (130) exposed at an end surface thereof for receiving the protruding end (118) of the first conductive member (114), the other end (132) of the second member (112) being arranged for electrical connection with the other of the pieces of electrical equipment; wherein a respective conductive layer (122, 134) extends over the surface of the insulating material (116, 128) of each connection component at its said one end and extends therealong towards it other end, thereby to provide electrical screening, which in use is substantially at earth potential, at said one end region of the component, each conductive layer terminating in respective first and second connection portions at respective one ends.
