Abstract

An electrical connector, e.g. a bushing, has an insulating body through which conductors form a continuous current path between two locations. The conductors are connectable to electrical equipment, e.g. switchgear and cables, at the locations. A socket is formed in the body for receiving a complementary-shaped closure plug. The current path formed by the conductors is exposed to the interior of the socket whereby by removal of the closure plug, the current path is accessible for test or isolation connections.
