Abstract
The bend of the invention makes it possible to provide a great number of different direction changes in the configuration of gas-insulated high-voltage lines.The bend mainly uses an angled ferrule (11). associated with two angular rings (12), placed between the angled ferrule (11) and a straight section (13) of the line, each angular ring (12) forming a change of direction defined by a determined angular offset angle (α) between said two joining surfaces. Thus, the use of an angled ferrule (11), in combination with one or two angular rings (12) makes it possible to obtain the four angular offsets of 70°, 80°, 100°, 110°. These same angular rings (12), used with an angled ferrule having an angle of 140° makes it possible to obtain the angles of 120°, 130°, 150°, and 160°.Use for constructing gas-insulated high-voltage lines.
