Abstract
The invention relates to a leakproof protection device for a high voltage cable splice. The device comprises two elements that are prefabricated in a factory. The element comprises a copper tube in the form of a first cylindrical segment which matches the diameter of a cable that is to be spliced, a second cylindrical segment of a diameter that matches a splice body, and an interconnecting conical segment. A preformed insulating covering covers the metal tube in part and is secured thereto. The second element also has a copper tube and a preformed insulating element of synthetic material. The two elements are assembled together in leakproof by welding together the ends of the two tubes and by coupling together their coverings.
