    摘要: An air-termination adapter that encloses an air-termination connection assembly to electrically isolate components that are at hazardous voltages and allow the air-termination connection assembly to be coupled to a dead-front termination for electrical equipment. In one embodiment, the adapter includes an outer body having a lower conical section, a middle cylindrical section and an upper cylindrical connection section all defining an internal chamber. The air-termination connection assembly extends into the chamber from the bottom of the lower section and is coupled to a connector rod at one end. The connector rod is coupled to a connector associated with a conical interface in the connection section to provide the dead-front termination to the electrical equipment.

    摘要: A cable adapter that is operable to electrically couple an existing switchgear cable used for old switchgear to a connection location on new switchgear. The adapter includes an elbow portion that is configured to be electrically coupled to a connector for the switchgear cable and an extension portion that is electrically coupled to the elbow portion. The adapter also includes a cylindrical connection portion electrically coupled to the extension portion and being configured to be electrically coupled to the new switchgear at the proper location. In one embodiment, the elbow portion, the extension portion and the connection portion combine as a single piece member including an internal conductor, a dielectric insulation rubber layer covering the internal conductor and an outer semi-conductive rubber layer covering the insulation layer, where the rubber layers are molded over the conductor.
