HIGH-PRESSURE POWER CABLE CONNECTOR

Title:

HIGH-PRESSURE POWER CABLE CONNECTOR

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2005084325

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

A high-pressure connector (20) for an electrical power cable segment (10) having a central stranded conductor (14) encased in a polymeric insulation with an interstitial void volume in the region of the conductor (14). The connector (20) confines a fluid within the interstitial void volume at a residual pressure above atmospheric, but below the elastic limit of the insulation jacket (12). A housing (16) interior chamber receives the conductor (14) in fluid communication with the interstitial void volume. Some embodiments have the chamber sized to receive and overlap a portion of the insulation jacket (12) with a housing (16) end portion swaged thereto. A seal (38) seals the insulation jacket (12) with respect to the housing (16) and a retaining member secures the cable segment (10) to the housing (16) to prevent pushback of the insulation jacket (12) at the residual pressure.
