Patent ID: 7645408

Claim:
A process for manufacturing an elastomeric sleeve of a joint for electrical cables, said sleeve comprising: an electric field-control element; an electrical insulating element surrounding said electric field-control element; and at least two stress control screens positioned at the axial ends of said electrical insulating element, said process comprising the steps of: introducing said electric field control element and said stress control screens into a mould provided for moulding said electrical insulating element made of an electrical insulating material; prior to introducing said electric field control element and said stress control screens into said mould, providing said electric field control element and said stress control screens on a supporting element; filling with said electrical insulating material the space radially external to said electric field-control element and the space between said electric field-control element and said stress control screens, the step of filling being carried out during the step of introducing; and curing said electrical insulating material to obtain said electrical insulating element of said elastomeric sleeve.
