A HIGH VOLTAGE DIRECT CURRENT CABLE TERMINATION APPARATUS

A direct current cable termination apparatus for terminating a high voltage direct current cable, the apparatus comprises a current-carrying device (102) comprising a terminal portion (104) of the direct current cable, the cable at least comprising an electrical conductor (106), a circumferential electrically insulating layer (108) located outside of the electrical conductor, and a circumferential conductive shield (110) located outside of the insulating layer and the electrical conductor. The apparatus comprises a housing (111) comprising an outer shell (112), and the current-carrying device (102) is adapted to extend in the axial direction of the outer shell. Along at least a part of the axial extension of the current-carrying device (102) the outer shell (112) extends axially with a space (118) between its inner periphery (114) and the current-carrying device. The apparatus comprises a partition (122; 222; 322) which separates the space into a first chamber (124) and a second chamber (126). The first chamber is filled with an electrically insulating first fluid (125) and the second chamber is filled with an electrically insulating second fluid (127) other than the first fluid. The conductive shield (1 10) terminates inside the second chamber, and at least one electric field control member (128) is located within the second chamber (126). An electric installation comprising the direct current cable termination apparatus.
