A superconducting cable system includes a superconducting cable (1); a first cryogenic jacket (2) containing the cable (1); and a superconducting device (8) connected to the cable (1). The superconducting cable system also has a second cryogenic jacket (7) containing the superconducting device (8); at least one first terminal (3) connected to the superconducting device (8); and a cooling unit (4) connected to the at least one first terminal (3).

An adapter probe configured for injecting fluid (e.g., liquid, gas) into at least one electrical cable. Particularly for injecting an electrical cable with a fluid when the electrical cable is affixed to a separable connector (e.g., elbow separable connector). Separable connector may be configured to connect sources of energy (e.g., transformer, circuit breaker) with distribution systems via electrical cable (or cable section).

Banding and clamp for use to in high voltage environments of over 15 kV. The banding includes and inner core and an outer insulative layer. The inner core has non-piercing edges. The inner core is configured to have strength to prevent movement of components to which the banding is attached. The outer insulative layer surrounds at least a portion of the inner core. The outer insulative has a phase-to-ground rating of greater than 15 kV.

A variable diameter termination includes an elastomeric tubular housing having a first portion with a first inner diameter, a second portion with a second inner diameter, and a third portion disposed between the first portion and the second portion and with a transition inner diameter. The elastomeric tubular housing is disposed on a tubular core that includes a first portion with a third outer diameter, a second portion with a fourth outer diameter, and a third portion disposed between the first portion and the second portion and with a transition outer diameter. The first portion of the elastomeric tubular housing is disposed over the first portion of the tubular core, the second portion of the elastomeric tubular housing is disposed over the second portion of the tubular core, and the third portion of the elastomeric tubular housing is disposed over the third portion of the tubular core.

A high-voltage cable sealing end (100) has a primary volume (102) and a secondary volume (104) fluidically connected thereto, which are filled with an insulating fluid. The primary volume (102) and the secondary volume (104) are sealed with respect to the atmosphere surrounding the high-voltage cable sealing end (100). The secondary volume (104) can be disconnected from the primary volume (102) via a separable connection (106) which can be cut off in a fluid-tight manner. A drying agent, which draws moisture out of the insulating fluid, is introduced into the secondary volume (104).

This invention is a device for connecting an end of a HV cable to an HV installation, comprising a pre-fabricated pipe-like unit (2) and the method for installing this device. The pipe-like unit comprises a connection piece (6, 6b) made out of an electrically conducting material and an insulator tube (5, 5r) which is connected to the connection piece (6, 6b) in a fluid-tight way. The insulator tube (5, 5r) is made out of an insulating material. The HV installation is typically a HV joint or a termination.

Fabrication of formed hoses is provided which include an innermost elastomer layer, a first fiber-reinforcement region, and multiple second fiber-reinforcement regions. The first fiber-reinforcement region has a first fiber-reinforcement density, and is disposed, at least in part, at a bend region of the formed hose, and the multiple second fiber-reinforcement regions have a second fiber-reinforcement density, and are disposed at least at the first and second end regions of the formed hose. The second fiber-reinforcement density is greater than the first fiber-reinforcement density, and results in the first and second ends of the formed hose being less radially-deformable than the bend region of the hose. This facilitates providing a mechanical fluid-tight connection with a hose barb fitting when the formed hose is slid over the hose barb fitting, absent any clamp over the formed hose and hose barb fitting connection.
