Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement for contacting a screen of a cable, in particular a high-voltage cable, as well as a screen connection with such an arrangement and a method for producing a screen connection.
  • High-voltage cables generally have an inner cable core and a screen which is separated from the cable core by an insulating layer and which is generally earthed.
  • the shields are usually formed by an aluminum foil closed in a tubular shape around the cable core or by a large number of wires made of copper and increasingly of aluminum.
  • cables are considered whose shields are formed in particular from a tubular aluminum foil closed around the cable core.
  • the shield is conventionally connected by means of electric welding. This requires a considerable amount of know-how on the part of the assembly staff and a considerable outlay in terms of equipment technology in order to ensure a reliable current-carrying connection without undue stress on the shield and the insulation of the cable. In addition, there is always an increased risk of fire during welding work.
  • a contacting device for contacting a cable shield has two ring-shaped contact elements, one of which has a conical outer surface and the other has an opposing conical inner surface, between which a cable shield of a cable, in particular a high-voltage cable is contactable.
  • the contact elements are clamped together by clamping screws and in this way produce an electrically conductive contact with the cable shield
  • a first object of the present invention is to create a further improved arrangement for contacting a screen or cable screen, as well as a corresponding screen connection and its production.
  • the invention proposes, according to a first aspect, an arrangement for contacting an electrical shield of a cable according to claim 1.
  • This design has the advantage that relatively little installation space is required in relation to the conductor cross-section. In addition, it is possible to run the further cable parallel to the cable whose screen is contacted, which also has a favorable effect on the installation space required.
  • the contact elements are cylindrical and each have a cylinder jacket.
  • the arrangement additionally has a protective tube which extends over the cable and in this way can protect against external damage.
  • the protective tube has a receptacle for a further cable.
  • the receptacle is set up to produce an electrically conductive connection to the further cable.
  • the receptacle enables the screen to be advantageously contacted with a further cable.
  • several receptacles for a plurality of further cables can be provided, which allow a comparatively concentric conductor routing, which also has a favorable effect on the required installation space, especially when a large conductor cross-section is required to ensure a high current-carrying capacity.
  • the electrically conductive connection to the further cable is established by means of a screw contact.
  • the electrically conductive connection between the screen and the further cable is therefore easy to establish and, in particular, does not require any special tools or special devices such as welding devices.
  • the screw contact comprises a clamping screw with a tear-off head. This ensures that the tightening torque is always the same without a fitter having to have a torque wrench available for this purpose.
  • the receptacle is advantageously made by a bore in the first and / or second contact element and / or the protective tube. This type of recording is particularly easy to implement in terms of production technology.
  • the receptacle is produced by a flat area on the outer circumferential surface of the first and / or second contact element and / or the protective tube. It is expedient for threaded holes to be provided in the flat area so that electrical contact can be made with another cable by means of a screw connection.
  • tensioning screws can be provided as tensioning means, which extend between the first and the second contact element.
  • a screen connection which comprises an arrangement according to one of the preceding claims and a cable which has a cable core which is surrounded by a screen over its entire length.
  • the screen is included in the arrangement for making contact. Since an arrangement according to the first aspect of the present invention is used for the shield connection, all of the advantages mentioned in connection with the arrangement are also realized by the shield connection.
  • FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of an arrangement according to the invention for making contact with a cable, which is designated as a whole by the reference symbol 100.
  • the arrangement 100 is mounted on a cable 101, for example a high-voltage cable 101.
  • the high-voltage cable 101 has an inner cable core 102 which is surrounded by an insulating layer 103.
  • a screen 104 which is made from a metal strip, lies on the insulating layer.
  • the metal strip consists of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, although other metals, in particular copper, can also be used to produce the screen 104.
  • An insulating jacket 106 surrounds the cable 101.
  • the high-voltage cable 101 is preferably flexible as a whole, so that its components, ie the cable core 102, the insulating layer 103, the shield 104 and the outer insulating jacket 106 are also flexible.
  • the high-voltage cable 101 is connected to an electrical device (not shown) which, for. B. can be another high-voltage cable or an electrical set. It is generally necessary to make electrical contact with both the cable core 102 and the screen 104. In particular in the case of the smooth screens 104 described above, which are made from a metal strip, the contacting of the There are often difficulties with the shield, in particular when further lines have to be connected to the shield 104.
  • the arrangement 100 serves to make contact with the aluminum strip serving as a screen 104.
  • the cable core 102 is supplemented by an in Figure 1 Cable set not shown connected or connected.

  • the threaded bolts 111 are screwed into threaded holes 114 which are provided in a flange 116 which is molded onto the clamping sleeve 107.
  • the threaded bolts 111 are guided through through bores 117 in the second contact element 108, so that the two contact elements 107 and 108 can be braced together by tightening the nuts 112.
  • the first contact element 107 can also be part of a housing of a further electrical device to which the cable 101 is connected.
  • the contact elements 107, 108 are made of a metal with good electrical conductivity, preferably an aluminum alloy.
  • the passage 109 of the first cylindrical contact element 107 is delimited by a cylinder jacket 118 with a conical outer surface 119 which forms a first contact area.
  • the conical outer surface 119 tapers conically in the assembly direction M, ie away from the cable end.
  • the conical outer surface 119 of the first contact element 107 and / or the conical inner surface 123 of the second contact element 108 has a structure 121 which, for. B. by sandblasting, serration or corrugation, is formed to the effective surface and the roughness of the first contact area increase. It is advantageous if that contact element has the structuring 121 which also contains the receptacle 201 for the cables 202.
  • the aluminum strip 104 is advantageously designed as a closed aluminum foil within the high-voltage cable 101, which surrounds the cable core 102 in a tubular manner.

  • the conical inner surface 123 of the second contact element or counter holder 108 is arranged above the longitudinal strip 127, so that the result is that the longitudinal strips 127 lie between the conical outer surface 119 of the clamping sleeve 107 and the conical inner surface 123 of the counter holder 108 and are clamped there as soon as the nuts 112 get dressed by.
  • the structuring 121 or 123 penetrate an aluminum oxide layer which may be present on the longitudinal strip 127 and which can worsen or hinder the electrical contact.
  • it can also be widened conically, e.g. by means of a likewise conically shaped driving wedge, which is driven under the aluminum tube and thus widens the aluminum tube conically at a corresponding angle to the contact element.
  • the drive wedge is divided into several segments in order to gradually drive the segments of the drive wedge under the aluminum tube with hammer blows on a large outer diameter.
  • the drive wedge is also used when the screen is designed as a closed aluminum band.
  • FIG. 10 shows the arrangement 100 in a partially cut-away representation and illustrates further features that are shown in the representation in FIG Figure 1 are not visible.
