Abstract

An electrical elbow connection between a high voltage cable and a conductive bushing on a piece of electrical power distribution equipment, such as a transformer, is provided with a telescoping, rotating connector. This allows relative movement between the probe and the cable, which facilitates connecting the elbow to the bushing and allows for relative movement between the two over their service life.
