Patent ID: 8097807

Claim:
Apparatus for a connecting point between two electrical high-voltage cables, each of the cables having an electrical conductor, an inner conductive layer which surrounds the same, an insulation which surrounds the inner conductive layer, and an outer conductive layer which surrounds the insulation, as well as a sheath which is arranged over the outer conductive layer and in which the conductors, from which the surrounding layers have been removed, are electrically conductively connected to one another, said arrangement covering the connecting point of the two conductors comprising: electrical screening elements; an integral, elongated sleeve body, composed of elastic insulating material and having a through-hole; and said sleeve body being equipped at its two axial ends, which are intended for the cable to pass through, with electrical control funnels which, in the mounted position, abut to the outer conductive layers, from which the sheaths have been removed, of the two cables, wherein the internal diameters of the through-hole in the sleeve body at its two axial ends, which are equipped with the control funnels, are for its use in a connecting point of two cables, having an external diameter of their insulation which differs by at least 10 mm, different in a defined manner and adapted to these different external diameters.
