Abstract
In a terminal for a high-voltage electric cable the electric cable is terminated at a predetermined height from its entry into the terminal and the electric connection between the cable conductor the overhead line is obtained by a rigid conductor element. The rigid conductor element, preferably a copper pipe, is provided with an elastomeric ribbed coating and is supported by an insulating base preferably made of an epoxy resin. An assembly constructed from an epoxy resin base and a rigid conductor element brings the electric field at the surface to a value consistent with the dielectric strength of the air and is long enough to form an insulation path suited for the installation environment.
