Abstract
A quick-make, quick-break probe contact assembly for connecting a high voltage cable to a high voltage bushing, the probe contact assembly being mounted in a cable terminator and including a movable section responsive to either an arc-generated arc-extinguishing gas, or to a fuse generated gas pressure for accelerating close-in with the bushing under fault current conditions. The probe contact assembly can also include a spring biased snap release sleeve that is retained within the bushing on load break of the cable terminator from the bushing to accelerate arc-out.
