Abstract
In a device (1) with a plug portion (2) and a socket portion (3) for the detachable connection particularly of the ends of high-voltage transmission lines and of the ends of low-voltage control lines, and with a mechanism for fixing the connection to prevent unintentional separation, a solution is to be provided through which the manipulation of such a coupling (3) is simplified and, particularly, a device (1) of the above-described type is made suitable also for voltages exceeding 500 volts. This is achieved by constructing the fixing mechanism as a drive element (8) which moves the device portions (2,3) relative to one another into the coupled and uncoupled positions and which locks them in the coupled position. It is also provided that socket (3) is equipped with a slide safety mechanism (23) which closes off the socket contacts in the uncoupled position and is moved by a control surface (25) on the plug (2) after an initial engagement of the two device portions into an open position facilitating the coupling.
