Device for connecting a branch conductor

摘要

In the case of a device for connecting a conductor to an insulated overhead line having a housing (4, 5) which accommodates a fuse (10), contains contact bodies (6, 18) (which make contact with this fuse) and consists of electrically insulating plastic, longitudinal ribs (4') which are provided on the housing (4, 5) are designed in such a manner that at least that material part which is at the greatest radial distance from the fuse body is at a temperature below the softening temperature of the plastic, even when the fuse (10) and the contact bodies (6, 18) are at their maximum temperature and the ambient temperature of the housing (4, 5) is at its maximum. <IMAGE>
