Abstract
A novel high voltage power cable terminator of the type having a rigid insulating housing made of an inorganic material is provided which employs a pre-stretched elastomeric stress relief tube mounted on a removable core prior to installation to facilitate installation of the terminator upon a prepared end of a high voltage cable. The removable core is a generally cylindrical, helically grooved tubular structure. The stress relief tube is supported coaxially in a stretched condition upon the exterior of the core prior to installation. To install the stress relief tube on the cable, the prepared end portion of the cable is positioned within the hollow interior of the core, and the core is then removed to allow the elastomeric stress relief tube to contract and grip the peripheral surface of the portion of the cable where stress relief is desired.
