Abstract

Electrical interconnection arrangements are provided for connecting together two pieces of electrical equipment. A first connection component includes a first elongate conductive member, which in use is at a relatively high voltage, enclosed within insulating material. A portion of the first conductive member protrudes at one end beyond an end surface of the insulating material. The other end of the first member is arranged for electrical connection with one of the pieces of electrical equipment. One end of the first conductive member has an enlarged radiussed region within the insulating material adjacent the protruding portion to provide electrical stress relief at the exposed surface of the insulating material. A second connection component includes a second elongate conductive member enclosed within insulating material which has a socket exposed at an end surface thereof for receiving the protruding end of the first conductive member. The other end of the second member is arranged for electrical connection with the other of the pieces of electrical equipment. A respective conductive layer extends over the surface of the insulating material of each connection component at one end and extends therealong towards another end to provide electrical screening, each conductive layer terminating in respective first and second connection portions.
