Claim:
1. An electrical field shielding assembly, for high voltage electrical equipment, comprising at least one electrically conductive, shielding element that is hingably mounted on the electrical field shielding assembly which in use houses electrical equipment, wherein the or each shielding element is hingably movable between an open position in which an access opening in the electrical field shielding assembly is created through which the electrical equipment is accessible and a closed position in which the access opening in the electrical field shielding assembly is closed, the electrical field shielding assembly further including at least one first hinge member, and the or each shielding element including a second hinge member, the or each second hinge member being hingably coupled with the first hinge member or a respective one of the first hinge members, and the or each first hinge member including: a locking portion to inhibit rotation of the corresponding second hinge member relative to the first hinge member, and a pivot portion to permit rotation of the corresponding second hinge member relative to the first hinge member, wherein the or each second hinge member is selectively movable between a locked position in which the or each second hinge member is lockably coupled with the corresponding locking portion, and a pivot position in which the or each second hinge member is rotatably coupled with the corresponding pivot portion.
