CURRENT-CONDUCTING SCREW CONNECTION BETWEEN TWO TUBULAR CONDUCTORS OF AN ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION, ESPECIALLY OF A METAL-CLAD HIGH-VOLTAGE INSTALLATION

摘要

A current-carrying screw connection between two tubular conductors located in a high-voltage switching installation having a metal encapsulation and insulated with compressed gas comprises radially oriented screws and a tubular shield, the screw heads being disposed inside the wall of the shield. The shield extends in a longitudinal direction over the ends of the two conductors and covers the butt joint between them. The shield is connected to each conductor via screws which are disposed within a region having a maximum circumferential extent of 180 DEG .
