Abstract
Sheaths accommodate a high-voltage conductor in their insides, and annular grooves are respectively provided in flanges of the sheaths outwardly of inserting holes for bolts which are disposed in annular form. Annular grooves are provided in an insulating spacer inwardly of the inserting holes for the bolts. O-rings are respectively provided in the annular grooves. An annular groove is also formed in a flange connection face so as to have bolt inserting holes at its bottom. After the flanges have been fixed by using the bolts, nuts and sealing washers, a liquid packing is injected into the flange connection face groove through a liquid packing injection opening which communicates with the groove. Since a sealing element is disposed outwardly of the bolt holes, it is possible to prevent penetration of rainwater or the like into the gaps between connected flanges with airtightness being retained. It is also possible to readily inject the liquid packing into the gaps between the flanges. By using sealing washers, it is possible to more readily inject the liquid packing into the gaps between the flanges.
