CABLE CLAMP FOR SPLICING ITS CONDUCTORS Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering. SUBSTANCE: clamp has casing in the form of hollow cylinder accommodating holders installed along its axis to hold ends of cable conductors to be spliced. Each holder has power and supporting inserts and in one design form it has additional insert. Outer surfaces of power and supporting inserts are cylindrical in shape and inner surfaces follow in shape mating parts of conductor surfaces. Power and supporting inserts are made in the form of self-braking wedges with equal pointing angles and are installed in casing so that power insert faces center with its pointed end and supporting insert, with thick end. Thickness of additional insert equals at least that of cable conductor insulation layer which protects insulation from damage during assembly. Outer surface radius of at least one of inserts, power or supporting one, is smaller than that of casing inner surface. EFFECT: improved operating reliability of spliced joints, facilitated assembly process, reduced size and material input of clamp. 4 cl, 5 dwg
