A CABLE JOINTING CLAMP

摘要

Jointing clamp (1) intended for electrical conductors and comprising an insulating, conical outer housing (2) having arranged therein a similarly conical inner sleeve (3). The narrow end of the outer sleeve (2) has located internally therein a seating (7) against which a metal ball (6) is locked by the inner sleeve (3) in a manner to fully close the narrow end of the inner sleeve. The outer sleeve (2) is extended with a tubular part (9) which surrounds a through-passing hole (10) in the seating (7) and thus forms a protective tubular device through which access can be had to the metal ball (6) with the aid of a test probe but which will prevent unintentional finger-contact with the ball. This enables electrical measurements to be made safely at joint locations without needing to remove the jointing clamps therefrom.
