Abstract
The connection member comprises an electrically insulating tubular part for introducing the high-voltage cable provided with an insulation sheath. The tubular part is provided at its free end with a tubular extension part, whose inner diameter is larger than the inner diameter of the tubular part and in which an elastic electrically insulating sealing member is arranged. The sealing member is a hollow cylinder, whose outer diameter is at most equal to the inner diameter of the extension part and whose inner diameter is substantially equal to the outer diameter of the insulation sheath. In the extension part a tubular pressure member is arranged, which in a first position does not deform the sealing member and, after the high-voltage cable has been introduced, can be pressed further into the extension part until it occupies a second position, in which it compresses the sealing member in axial direction so that the sealing member completely fills the space between the insulation sheath and the inner surface of the extension part. The compressed sealing member forms a seal, preventing dirt and moisture from penetrating into the tubular part.
