A high voltage electrical connector of the type employed to connect a high voltage cable to the terminal of an electrical apparatus, such as a transformer, in a power distribution circuit is provided with a connector element which enables a ground connection to be made so as to ground the terminal without disconnecting the connector. A fault-closing device is provided in the electrical connector, in the event that the ground connection inadvertently is made when the circuit is energized. Access is provided through the connector element and the fault-closing device for a tool which can be inserted and operated from a remote location to selectively disconnect and connect the electrical connector and the terminal of the electrical apparatus, while the electrical connector and the cable attached thereto are grounded. |
