Abstract

See full text

Apparatus for reducing the risk of flashover during loadbreak operations of insulated separable connectors. A substantial airtight seal is prevented between the collar of the bushing insert and the cuff of the mating component. The connection is vented to break any adhesion between the bushing insert and the mating component cuff and to provide a chamfered airway for atmospheric airflow during removal of the mating component. A latch ring is reformed to include at least one raised edge about its outer diameter. Each raised edge has the shape of a sharply angled ramp and extends outward. There may be four or six raised edges.
