Is.

電力ケーブルから接地線を引き出す接地線引出部の構造として、特許文献1に示されたものが知られている。特許文献1に示された接地線引出部の構造は図20に示した通りである。この接地線引出部を構成する場合には、先ず電力ケーブル1を段剥ぎすることにより絶縁シース1aから遮蔽層1bと外部半導電層1cと絶縁体1dとを露呈させ、ケーブル1を同様に段剥ぎされた他のケーブルと突き合わせてケーブル接続部本体2を構成する。次いで、図21に示すように接地線3が半田付けされた金属板4を、遮蔽層1bの外周に嵌合させた後、金属板4と、電力ケーブルのシース1aの一部と、遮蔽層1bの露呈された部分と、外部半導電層1cの露呈された部分と、絶縁体1dの一部とを覆うようにカバー5を取り付け、カバー5に設けられた分岐管部5aを通して接地線3を外部に引き出す。   As a structure of a ground wire lead-out portion that pulls out a ground wire from a power cable, a structure shown in Patent Document 1 is known. The structure of the ground wire lead-out portion shown in Patent Document 1 is as shown in FIG. In the case of constituting the ground wire lead portion, the power cable 1 is first stripped to expose the shielding layer 1b, the external semiconductive layer 1c, and the insulator 1d from the insulating sheath 1a, and the cable 1 is similarly stepped. The cable connecting part main body 2 is configured by being brought into contact with the other cables peeled off. Next, as shown in FIG. 21, after the metal plate 4 to which the ground wire 3 is soldered is fitted to the outer periphery of the shielding layer 1b, the metal plate 4, a part of the sheath 1a of the power cable, and the shielding layer The cover 5 is attached so as to cover the exposed portion 1b, the exposed portion of the external semiconductive layer 1c, and a part of the insulator 1d, and the grounding wire 3 passes through the branch pipe portion 5a provided in the cover 5. Pull out to the outside.

図20に示された接地線引出部において、カバー5として熱収縮性のものを用いれば、接地線引出部に遮水性を持たせることができる。しかし、使用環境が厳しい場合には、長年の使用により、接地線3と分岐管部5aとの間に隙間が生じて遮水性能が低下するおそれがある。万一接地線の引出部から電力ケーブル接続部に水が浸入すると、接続部で絶縁破壊が生じるおそれがある。電力ケーブルの接続部に水が浸入するのを防ぐためには、接地線引出部の遮水性能を確実なものにしておくことが必要である。   In the ground wire drawing portion shown in FIG. 20, if a heat-shrinkable cover 5 is used, the ground wire drawing portion can be provided with water shielding properties. However, when the use environment is severe, there is a possibility that a gap is generated between the ground wire 3 and the branch pipe portion 5a due to long-term use, and the water shielding performance is deteriorated. In the unlikely event that water enters the power cable connecting portion from the lead-out portion of the ground wire, there is a risk of dielectric breakdown at the connecting portion. In order to prevent water from entering the connecting portion of the power cable, it is necessary to ensure the water shielding performance of the ground wire lead portion.

電力ケーブル接続部の防水性能については、数十年間の設計寿命が求められる。従来の接地線引出構造でも、環境によりある程度の遮水性能を維持することができるが、従来より厳しい仕様が求められる場所では、更に長期間に亘って性能の維持が求められることが予想される。従って、遮水性能を従来より向上させた接地線引出部の開発が望まれている。   A design life of several decades is required for the waterproof performance of the power cable connection. Even with the conventional ground wire lead-out structure, it is possible to maintain a certain level of water shielding performance depending on the environment, but in places where stricter specifications are required than before, it is expected that performance maintenance will be required for a longer period of time. . Therefore, it is desired to develop a ground wire lead portion with improved water shielding performance than before.

特に常時水没する場所や、降雨時に大量の水が流入することがある地下溝内等に電力ケーブルが敷設される場合には、電力ケーブルからの接地線引出部の遮水性能に特に配慮する必要がある。   Special consideration should be given to the water shielding performance of the ground wire lead-out part from the power cable, especially when the power cable is installed in a place where it is always submerged, or in an underground ditch where a large amount of water may flow in during rainfall. There is.

特許文献2に示された接地線引出部で用いるアダプタは、接地線と防水スリーブとが防水モールド部を貫通しているため、同アダプタを用いて接地線引出部を構成した場合には、接地線及び防水スリーブと防水モールド部との接着強度が十分でない場合や、防水モールド部が熱膨張収縮を繰り返して、接地線と防水スリーブの貫通部分と防水スリーブとの間に隙間が生じた場合に、接地線及び防水スリーブの貫通部分を通して水が浸入おそれがある。   In the adapter used in the ground wire lead-out portion shown in Patent Document 2, since the ground wire and the waterproof sleeve pass through the waterproof mold portion, when the ground wire lead-out portion is configured using the adapter, When the adhesive strength between the wire and the waterproof sleeve and the waterproof mold part is insufficient, or when the waterproof mold part repeats thermal expansion and contraction, and there is a gap between the ground wire and the penetration part of the waterproof sleeve and the waterproof sleeve In addition, water may enter through the ground wire and the penetration portion of the waterproof sleeve.

また特許文献2に示されたアダプタでは、予め接地線を防水モールド部によりモールドしておく必要があるため、接地線の長さが決まってしまい、融通性に乏しいという問題もあった。   Moreover, in the adapter shown in Patent Document 2, since the ground wire needs to be molded in advance by the waterproof mold portion, the length of the ground wire is determined and there is a problem that flexibility is poor.

本発明の目的は、遮水性能を従来よりも向上させて、信頼性を向上させた電力ケーブルからの接地線引出部及び該接地線引出部を備えた電力ケーブル接続部を提供することにある。   An object of the present invention is to provide a ground wire lead-out portion from a power cable with improved water shielding performance and improved reliability, and a power cable connecting portion including the ground wire lead-out portion. .

本発明は、電力ケーブルの遮蔽層から導出されたシールド導体に接地線を電気的に接続して該接地線を外部に引き出す接地線引出部に係わるものである。   The present invention relates to a ground wire lead-out portion that electrically connects a ground wire to a shield conductor derived from a shielding layer of a power cable and draws the ground wire to the outside.

本発明においては、電力ケーブルの軸線に沿う方向に一定の長さを有し、電力ケーブルの絶縁シースの外周に沿うように湾曲した凹面を外面の一部に有するとともに、該凹面の反対側の部分の外面が湾曲した凸面となっている接地線引出金具が設けられる。この接地線引出金具は、その一端を電力ケーブルのシールド導体導出部に向け、かつ凹面を電力ケーブルの絶縁シースの外周にシール層を介して当接させた状態で電力ケーブルのシールド導体導出部付近に配置される。電力ケーブルの遮蔽層から導出されたシールド導体が接地線引出金具の一端に電気的に接続され、接地線引出金具の外面の少なくとも一部と、電力ケーブルのシールド導体導出部付近の外面とを含む要被覆部を一括して被覆する被覆層が設けられて、該被覆層と前記接地線引出金具とにより、電力ケーブルのシールド導体導出部側の領域と接地線が引き出される側の領域との間の遮水が図られる。外部に引き出される接地線は上記接地線引出金具の他端側に接続される。   In the present invention, the power cable has a certain length in the direction along the axis of the power cable, and has a concave surface curved along the outer periphery of the insulation sheath of the power cable in a part of the outer surface, and on the opposite side of the concave surface. A ground wire lead-out fitting is provided in which the outer surface of the portion is a curved convex surface. This grounding lead wire fitting is near the shield conductor lead-out portion of the power cable with one end facing the shield conductor lead-out portion of the power cable and the concave surface in contact with the outer periphery of the insulation sheath of the power cable via the seal layer Placed in. The shield conductor derived from the shield layer of the power cable is electrically connected to one end of the ground wire lead fitting, and includes at least a part of the outer surface of the ground wire lead fitting and the outer surface near the shield conductor lead-out portion of the power cable. A covering layer is provided to collectively cover the necessary covering portion, and the shield layer and the grounding wire lead-out fitting provide a space between the region on the shield conductor lead-out portion side of the power cable and the region on the side from which the grounding wire is drawn. Water shielding is planned. A ground wire led out to the outside is connected to the other end side of the ground wire lead fitting.

被覆層は、収縮性のものであることが好ましい。収縮性の被覆層は、熱収縮性を有するものからなっていても良く、それ自体が弾性を有して常温で収縮する性質(常温収縮性)を有するもの(例えば、要被覆部の外径よりも小さい内径を有するゴムチューブ)からなっていても良い。   The coating layer is preferably shrinkable. The shrinkable coating layer may be made of a material having heat shrinkability, and has a property of being elastic and shrinking at room temperature (room temperature shrinkability) (for example, the outer diameter of the required coating portion). Rubber tube having a smaller inner diameter).

上記のように、ケーブルの軸線方向に一定の長さを有する接地線引出金具の凹面を電力ケーブルの絶縁シースの外周にシール層を介して面接触させて、この接地線引出金具を通して、接地線とケーブルの遮蔽層から導出されたシールド導体とを接続する構造にしておくと、電力ケーブルの絶縁シースと接地線引出金具とをシール層を介して広い面積で接触させて、接地線引出金具と電力ケーブルの絶縁シースとの間を通して水が流れるのを確実に阻止することができる。   As described above, the concave surface of the ground wire lead fitting having a certain length in the axial direction of the cable is brought into surface contact with the outer periphery of the insulation sheath of the power cable through the seal layer, and the ground wire is passed through the ground wire lead fitting. And a shield conductor derived from the shield layer of the cable, the insulation sheath of the power cable and the ground wire lead fitting are brought into contact with each other over a wide area through the seal layer, and the ground wire lead fitting and Water can be reliably prevented from flowing between the insulating sheath of the power cable.

また上記のように構成すると、要被覆部を一括して被覆する収縮性の被覆層が、接地線に比べてはるかに大きい外表面積を有する接地線引出金具の外面に面接触するので、該被覆層と接地線引出金具との間を通して水が流れるのを確実に阻止することができる。   In addition, when configured as described above, the shrinkable coating layer that collectively covers the required coating portion comes into surface contact with the outer surface of the ground wire lead fitting having a much larger outer surface area than the ground wire. It is possible to reliably prevent water from flowing between the layer and the ground wire lead fitting.

従って、上記のように構成すると、電力ケーブルのシールド導体導出部側の領域と接地線が引き出される側の領域との間の遮水を確実に図ることができ、接地線引出部の遮水性能を向上させることができる。   Therefore, if comprised as mentioned above, the water shielding between the area | region of the shield conductor derivation | leading-out side of a power cable and the area | region where the grounding wire is drawn out can be aimed at reliably, and the water shielding performance of a grounding wire extraction part Can be improved.

本発明の好ましい態様では、上記シール層が、柔軟性及び(又は)弾性を有するシール材からなるシートからなっている。   In a preferred aspect of the present invention, the sealing layer is made of a sheet made of a sealing material having flexibility and / or elasticity.

柔軟性及び(又は)弾性を有するシール材のシートによりシール層を形成すると、該シール層を電力ケーブルの絶縁シースの表面と接地線引出金具の表面とに良く馴染ませて、接地線引出金具とケーブルの絶縁シースとの間のシールを確実に図ることができる。またシート状のシール材を用いると、ケーブルの絶縁シースの上にシール材を載せてその上に接地線引出金具を載せるだけで、ケーブルの絶縁シースと接地線引出金具との間にシール材を介在させることができるため、ケーブルの絶縁シースと接地線引出金具との間をシールする作業を簡単にすることができる。   When the sealing layer is formed by a sheet of sealing material having flexibility and / or elasticity, the sealing layer is well adapted to the surface of the insulating sheath of the power cable and the surface of the grounding wire lead fitting, A seal between the cable and the insulation sheath can be ensured. In addition, when a sheet-like sealing material is used, the sealing material is placed between the cable insulation sheath and the ground wire lead fitting only by placing the sealing material on the cable insulation sheath and placing the ground wire lead fitting thereon. Since it can be interposed, the work of sealing between the insulation sheath of the cable and the ground wire lead fitting can be simplified.

本発明の好ましい態様では、前記シール層が、接地線引出金具の凹面を取り囲む周縁部から外側にはみ出す大きさを有し、接地線引出金具の周縁部の全体に亘って、かつ接地線引出金具とシール層の表面との間に跨って、シール用テープが貼り付けられて接地線引出金具とシール層の表面との間が液密にシールされる。シール用テープは、接地線引出金具に接着する接着性とシール層に融着する融着性とを有するものであることが好ましい。   In a preferred aspect of the present invention, the seal layer has a size that protrudes outward from a peripheral portion surrounding the concave surface of the ground wire lead fitting, and extends over the entire peripheral portion of the ground wire lead fitting. A sealing tape is applied across the surface of the sealing layer and the surface of the sealing layer is liquid-tightly sealed between the ground wire lead fitting and the surface of the sealing layer. It is preferable that the sealing tape has adhesiveness for adhering to the ground wire lead fitting and fusing property for fusing to the sealing layer.

上記のように、シール層が、接地線引出金具の凹面を取り囲む周縁部から外側にはみ出す大きさを有するようにしておいて、接地線引出金具とシール層の表面との間を液密にシールするようにシール用テープを貼り付けておくと、接地線引出部の遮水性を向上させることができる。   As described above, the seal layer has a size that protrudes outward from the peripheral edge surrounding the concave surface of the ground wire lead fitting, and the space between the ground wire lead fitting and the surface of the seal layer is liquid-tightly sealed. If the sealing tape is pasted in such a manner, the water shielding property of the ground wire lead portion can be improved.

本発明の好ましい態様では、接地線引出金具の凸面を覆う防食層が形成される。防食層は、例えばポリ塩化ビニル樹脂等の防食性を有する樹脂製のコーティング材料により形成するのが好ましい。   In the preferable aspect of this invention, the anticorrosion layer which covers the convex surface of a grounding wire drawing | extracting metal fitting is formed. The anticorrosion layer is preferably formed of a coating material made of a resin having anticorrosion properties such as a polyvinyl chloride resin.

上記のように、接地線引出金具の凸面を防食層で覆っておくと、接地線引出金具の耐食性を高めることができる。   As described above, when the convex surface of the ground wire lead fitting is covered with the anticorrosion layer, the corrosion resistance of the ground wire lead fitting can be enhanced.

上記のように接地線引出金具の凸面を防食層で覆った場合、接地線引出金具の凹面と凸面との境界部を接地線引出金具の長手方向に沿って伸びる防食層の端縁部と、シール層との間にシール材が入りにくい、奥深い狭間隙が形成され、この狭間隙が、接地線引出金具とシール層との間のシールの盲点となるおそれが生じる。   When the convex surface of the ground wire lead fitting is covered with the anticorrosion layer as described above, the edge portion of the anticorrosion layer that extends along the longitudinal direction of the ground wire lead fitting, the boundary portion between the concave surface and the convex surface of the ground wire lead fitting, A deep narrow gap is formed between the seal layer and the seal material, and the narrow gap is likely to become a blind spot of the seal between the ground wire lead fitting and the seal layer.

そこで、本発明の好ましい態様では、上記のように接地線引出金具の凸面を防食層で覆う場合に、接地線引出金具の凹面と凸面との境界部を接地線引出金具の長手方向に沿って伸びる防食層の端縁部が、先端側ほど薄くなるように斜めに面取りされる。   Therefore, in a preferred aspect of the present invention, when the convex surface of the ground wire lead fitting is covered with the anticorrosion layer as described above, the boundary portion between the concave surface and the convex surface of the ground wire lead fitting is along the longitudinal direction of the ground wire lead fitting. The edge part of the extending anticorrosion layer is chamfered obliquely so that the tip side becomes thinner.

上記のように、接地線引出金具の凹面と凸面との境界部を接地線引出金具の長手方向に沿って伸びる防食層の端縁部を斜めに面取りしておくと、接地線引出金具の凹面と凸面との境界部(接地線引出金具の幅方向の両端部)とケーブルの絶縁シース外面との間に奥深い狭隙間が形成されて該狭間隙がシールの盲点となるのを防ぐことができるため、遮水信頼性を向上させることができる。   As described above, when the edge of the anticorrosion layer extending along the longitudinal direction of the ground wire lead fitting is obliquely chamfered at the boundary between the concave surface and the convex surface of the ground wire lead fitting, the concave surface of the ground wire lead fitting A deep narrow gap is formed between the boundary portion between the cable and the convex surface (both ends in the width direction of the ground wire lead fitting) and the outer surface of the insulation sheath of the cable, and the narrow gap can be prevented from becoming a blind spot of the seal. Therefore, the water shielding reliability can be improved.

上記シール層は、接着性を有するシール材からなっていることが好ましい。また、上記接地線引出金具は、その量産性を高めるために、銅等の良導電性を有する金属からなる鋳造品とすることが好ましい。この場合、接地線引出金具の凹面を鋳物肌のままとしておく(研磨しないでおく)ことが好ましい。   The seal layer is preferably made of a sealing material having adhesiveness. The ground wire lead fitting is preferably a cast product made of a metal having good conductivity such as copper in order to increase the mass productivity. In this case, it is preferable that the concave surface of the ground wire lead fitting is left as cast skin (not polished).

上記のように、接地線引出金具を鋳造品として、その凹面を鋳物肌のままにしておくと、接地線引出金具とシール材との接着性を良好にすることができる。   As described above, when the ground wire lead metal fitting is used as a cast product and the concave surface is left as cast skin, the adhesion between the ground wire lead metal fitting and the sealing material can be improved.

本発明の好ましい態様においては、接地線引出金具の一端寄りの一部の肉厚を薄くすることにより接地線引出金具の一端側に前記凸面の頂部に対して段差を有するシールド導体接続部が形成され、該シールド導体接続部に電力ケーブルの遮蔽層から導出されたシールド導体が接続される。   In a preferred aspect of the present invention, a shield conductor connecting portion having a step with respect to the top of the convex surface is formed on one end side of the ground wire lead metal fitting by thinning a part of the thickness near one end of the ground wire lead metal fitting. Then, a shield conductor derived from the shield layer of the power cable is connected to the shield conductor connection portion.

上記のように、接地線引出金具の一端寄りに凸面の頂部に対して段差を有するシールド導体接続部を形成して、該シールド導体接続部に電力ケーブルの遮蔽層から導出されたシールド導体を接続するようにすると、シールド導体と接地線引出金具との接続部が接地線引出金具の凸面上にはみ出すのを防ぐことができるため、被覆層を形成する際にシールド導体と接地線引出金具との接続部が障害になるのを防ぐことができる。   As described above, a shield conductor connection portion having a step with respect to the top of the convex surface is formed near one end of the ground wire lead fitting, and the shield conductor derived from the shielding layer of the power cable is connected to the shield conductor connection portion. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the connecting portion between the shield conductor and the ground wire lead fitting from protruding on the convex surface of the ground wire lead fitting. It is possible to prevent the connection portion from becoming an obstacle.

本発明の他の好ましい態様では、電力ケーブルの遮蔽層から導出されたシールド導体が、接地線引出金具の一端の端面に開口するようにして接地線引出金具に形成された孔を用いて接地線引出金具に電気的に接続される。シールド導体は直接又は接続導体を介して接地線引出金具と接続される。これらと接地線引出金具との電気的な接続は溶接やろう付けなどにより行うことができる。   In another preferred aspect of the present invention, the ground wire is formed by using a hole formed in the ground wire lead fitting so that the shield conductor led out from the shielding layer of the power cable opens at one end face of the ground wire lead fitting. Electrically connected to the drawer fitting. The shield conductor is connected to the ground wire lead fitting directly or via a connecting conductor. These can be electrically connected to the ground wire lead fitting by welding or brazing.

上記のように構成した場合にも、シールド導体と接地線引出金具との接続部が接地線引出金具の凸面上にはみ出すことがないため、被覆層を形成する際にシールド導体と接地線引出金具との接続部が障害になるのを防ぐことができる。   Even when configured as described above, the connecting portion between the shield conductor and the ground wire lead fitting does not protrude on the convex surface of the ground wire lead fitting. It is possible to prevent the connection part from becoming an obstacle.

本発明の好ましい態様では、接地線引出金具の他端寄りの一部の肉厚を薄くすることにより接地線引出金具の他端側に前記凸面の頂部に対して段差を有する接地線接続導体接続部が形成されて、該接地線接続導体接続部に接地線が電気的に接続される。   In a preferred aspect of the present invention, a ground wire connecting conductor connection having a step with respect to the top of the convex surface on the other end side of the ground wire lead metal fitting by reducing the thickness of a part near the other end of the ground wire lead metal fitting. Is formed, and the ground wire is electrically connected to the ground wire connecting conductor connecting portion.

上記のように、接地線引出金具の他端寄りに凸面の頂部に対して段差を有する接地線接続導体接続部を形成して、該接地線接続導体接続部に接地線を直接又は接続導体を介して接続する構造にすると、接地線と接地線引出金具との接続部が接地線引出金具の凸面上にはみ出すのを防ぐことができるため、被覆層を形成する際に接地線と接地線引出金具との接続部が障害になるのを防ぐことができる。   As described above, the ground wire connecting conductor connecting portion having a step with respect to the top of the convex surface is formed near the other end of the ground wire drawing metal fitting, and the ground wire is directly or directly connected to the ground wire connecting conductor connecting portion. When connecting to the ground wire, it is possible to prevent the connection portion between the ground wire and the ground wire lead fitting from protruding on the convex surface of the ground wire lead fitting. It can prevent that the connection part with a metal fitting becomes an obstruction.

本発明の他の好ましい態様では、接地線引出金具の他端の端面に開口するようにして接地線引出金具に形成された孔を用いて接地線が接地線引出金具に電気的に接続される。   In another preferred aspect of the present invention, the ground wire is electrically connected to the ground wire lead fitting using a hole formed in the ground wire lead fitting so as to open at the other end face of the ground wire lead fitting. .

上記のように構成した場合も、接地線と接地線引出金具との接続部が接地線引出金具の凸面上にはみ出すことがないため、被覆層を形成する際に接地線接続導体と接地線引出金具との接続部が障害になるのを防ぐことができる。   Even when configured as described above, the connecting portion between the ground wire and the ground wire lead fitting does not protrude on the convex surface of the ground wire lead fitting. It can prevent that the connection part with a metal fitting becomes an obstruction.

本発明の好ましい態様では、上記接地線引出金具が、前記凹面を外面に有する遮水壁部と、外面が前記凸面となっている外周側壁部とを一体に有する中空の金属部材と該金属部材の長手方向の両端で該金属部材の中空部を閉じる端部材とからなっている。この場合、シールド導体は、接地線引出金具の長手方向の一端側の端部材に電気的に接続される。また接地線引出金具の長手方向の他端側の端部材に接地線が電気的に接続される。   In a preferred aspect of the present invention, the grounding wire lead metal fitting has a hollow metal member integrally including a water shielding wall portion having the concave surface on the outer surface and an outer peripheral side wall portion having the convex surface on the outer surface, and the metal member. The end member closes the hollow portion of the metal member at both ends in the longitudinal direction. In this case, the shield conductor is electrically connected to an end member on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the ground wire lead fitting. Further, the ground wire is electrically connected to the end member on the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the ground wire lead metal fitting.

上記中空の金属部材は、例えば、金属パイプを適当な長さに切断して、該適当な長さの金属パイプをプレス加工などにより変形させることにより低コストで製作することができる。   The hollow metal member can be manufactured at a low cost by, for example, cutting a metal pipe into an appropriate length and deforming the metal pipe with an appropriate length by pressing or the like.

It works to prevent water from entering. The axial length L1 of the concave surface 25A of the ground wire lead fitting is a length necessary to surely prevent water from entering through between the ground wire lead fitting 25 and the insulating sheath of the power cable, that is, The length required to give the ground wire lead fitting 25 a function as a water shielding wall is set.

接地線引出金具25は、言うまでもなく、接地線として用いられる電線に流れる電流を十分に通電させる機能を有している。図示の例では、接地線引出金具25の凹面25Aが円筒面状をなすように形成され、凸面25Bがほぼ放物面状をなすように形成されている。   Needless to say, the ground wire lead fitting 25 has a function of sufficiently energizing the current flowing through the electric wire used as the ground wire. In the illustrated example, the concave surface 25A of the ground wire lead fitting 25 is formed to have a cylindrical surface shape, and the convex surface 25B is formed to have a substantially parabolic shape.

凹面25Aの曲率半径は、該凹面と電力ケーブルの絶縁シース11aとの間に介在させるシール層Sの外面(凹面25A側の面)の曲率半径に等しく設定するか、又はシール層Sの外面の曲率半径より僅かに大きめに設定しておくことが好ましい。凹面25Aの曲率半径がシール層Sの曲率半径よりも小さいと、図5(B)に示すように、凹面25Aの幅方向の中央部寄りの部分とシール層Sとの間に、幅方向の両端が閉じた隙間g′が形成される。この隙間g′が形成された部分にはシール材が入らないため、この部分が接地線引出金具25と電力ケーブル11との間のシールの盲点になって、水を通過させるおそれがある。凹面25Aの曲率半径と、シール層Sの外面の曲率半径と等しくすることができれば、凹面25Aとシール層Sとの間に隙間は生じないが、シール層Sの厚さを正確に一定とすることは難しく、凹面25Aの曲率半径とシール層の外面の曲率半径とを正確に等しくすることは難しい。従って、実際には、図5(A)に示すように、凹面25Aの幅方向の両端とシール層Sとの間に、外方に開口した僅かな隙間g,gが形成される程度に、凹面25Aの曲率半径をシール層Sの曲率半径よりも大きく設定しておくことが好ましい。凹面25Aの曲率半径をシール層Sの曲率半径よりも大きく設定する場合、凹面25Aの曲率半径と、シール層Sの外面の曲率半径との差が2.0 mmを超えないように設定するのが好ましい。   The radius of curvature of the concave surface 25A is set equal to the radius of curvature of the outer surface (surface on the concave surface 25A side) of the seal layer S interposed between the concave surface and the insulation sheath 11a of the power cable, or the outer surface of the seal layer S It is preferable to set it slightly larger than the radius of curvature. When the curvature radius of the concave surface 25A is smaller than the curvature radius of the seal layer S, the width in the width direction is between the portion of the concave surface 25A near the center in the width direction and the seal layer S as shown in FIG. A gap g ′ closed at both ends is formed. Since the seal material does not enter the portion where the gap g ′ is formed, this portion becomes a blind spot of the seal between the ground wire lead fitting 25 and the power cable 11, and there is a risk of passing water. If the radius of curvature of the concave surface 25A can be made equal to the radius of curvature of the outer surface of the seal layer S, no gap is formed between the concave surface 25A and the seal layer S, but the thickness of the seal layer S is made exactly constant. It is difficult to make the radius of curvature of the concave surface 25A and the radius of curvature of the outer surface of the sealing layer exactly equal. Therefore, actually, as shown in FIG. 5 (A), between the both ends in the width direction of the concave surface 25A and the seal layer S, a slight gap g, g opened outward is formed. The radius of curvature of the concave surface 25A is preferably set larger than the radius of curvature of the seal layer S. When the radius of curvature of the concave surface 25A is set larger than the radius of curvature of the seal layer S, it is preferable to set the difference between the radius of curvature of the concave surface 25A and the radius of curvature of the outer surface of the seal layer S not to exceed 2.0 mm. .

図5(A)に示したように、凹面25Aとシール層Sとの間に形成される隙間g,gが、凹面25Aの幅方向の両端で外方に開口するようにしておくと、各隙間gをシール用テープ等により塞ぐことは容易であるので、接地線引出金具25と電力ケーブルとの間のシール性が損なわれるのを防ぐことができる。   As shown in FIG. 5A, when the gaps g, g formed between the concave surface 25A and the seal layer S are opened outward at both ends in the width direction of the concave surface 25A, Since it is easy to close the gap g with a sealing tape or the like, it is possible to prevent the sealing performance between the ground wire lead fitting 25 and the power cable from being impaired.

接地線引出金具25を電力ケーブルの上に設置した状態で、接地線引出金具25と電力ケーブルとを一括して取り囲むようにテープを巻き付けた際に、接地線引出金具25の幅方向の両端付近で該テープと電力ケーブルの外周との間に大きな隙間を生じさせないように構成しておくのが好ましい。そのためには、図3に見られるように、接地線引出金具25を電力ケーブル11の上に設置した状態で、凸面25Bの周方向の両端の延長面が電力ケーブル11の絶縁シースの外周面に接するか、又はほぼ接した状態になるように、凸面25Bの曲面形状と、接地線引出金具25の幅寸法とを設定することが好ましい。本実施形態では、凹面25Aと凸面25Bの境界部を形成する接地線引出金具25の幅方向の両端が、図9に見られるように、角部を有しない、Rが付けられた形状を呈するように加工されている。   When the tape is wound so as to surround the ground wire lead fitting 25 and the power cable in a state where the ground wire lead fitting 25 is installed on the power cable, near the both ends in the width direction of the ground wire lead fitting 25 Therefore, it is preferable that a large gap is not formed between the tape and the outer periphery of the power cable. For this purpose, as shown in FIG. 3, the extended surfaces at both ends in the circumferential direction of the convex surface 25 </ b> B are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the insulating sheath of the power cable 11 with the ground wire lead fitting 25 being installed on the power cable 11. It is preferable to set the curved surface shape of the convex surface 25B and the width dimension of the ground wire lead fitting 25 so as to be in contact with or substantially in contact with each other. In the present embodiment, both ends in the width direction of the grounding lead metal fitting 25 that form the boundary between the concave surface 25A and the convex surface 25B have a corner shape and an R-shaped shape as shown in FIG. It is processed as follows.

本実施形態では、接地線引出金具25が中実の部材からなっている。このように、接地線引出金具を中実に形成する場合には、量産性を高めるため、該接地線引出金具を鋳造により製造するのが好ましい。接地線引出金具25を鋳造により製造する場合、該接地線引出金具25の凹面25Aとシール層Sとの接着性を良好にするために、少なくとも凹面25Aは、鋳物肌のままとしておくことが好ましい。通常鋳物肌の表面粗さは、数十μmないし200μm程度である。接地線引出金具25の凹面25Aを研磨すると、シール層との接着性が弱くなる。   In the present embodiment, the ground wire lead fitting 25 is made of a solid member. As described above, when the ground wire lead metal fitting is formed solidly, it is preferable to manufacture the ground wire lead metal fitting by casting in order to increase mass productivity. When the ground wire lead fitting 25 is manufactured by casting, in order to improve the adhesion between the concave surface 25A of the ground wire lead fitting 25 and the seal layer S, it is preferable that at least the concave surface 25A is left as cast skin. . Usually, the surface roughness of the casting skin is about several tens μm to 200 μm. When the concave surface 25A of the ground wire lead fitting 25 is polished, the adhesion with the seal layer is weakened.

本実施形態では、接地線引出金具25の一端25a(図2参照)寄りの一部の肉厚を他の部分の肉厚よりも薄くすることにより,接地線引出金具25の一端側に凸面25Bの頂部に対して段差を有して、凸面25Bの頂部よりも凹面25A側に落ち込んだ接続面25C1を有するシールド導体接続部25Cが形成されている。このシールド導体接続部には、電力ケーブル11の遮蔽層から導出されたシールド導体11b1の先端に取り付けられた端子金具26がボルト27により接続されている。ケーブル11から導出されたシールド導体11b1は、外部半導電層11cに巻き付けられたロールスプリング23によりケーブル11の外部半導電層11cの外周に固定されている。   In the present embodiment, the thickness of a part of the ground wire drawing metal fitting 25 near one end 25a (see FIG. 2) is made thinner than the thickness of the other part, thereby providing a convex surface 25B on one end side of the ground wire drawing metal fitting 25. A shield conductor connection portion 25C having a connection surface 25C1 that has a step with respect to the top surface of the convex surface 25B and that has been lowered to the concave surface 25A side from the top portion of the convex surface 25B is formed. A terminal fitting 26 attached to the tip of the shield conductor 11b1 led out from the shielding layer of the power cable 11 is connected to the shield conductor connecting portion by a bolt 27. The shield conductor 11b1 led out from the cable 11 is fixed to the outer periphery of the outer semiconductive layer 11c of the cable 11 by a roll spring 23 wound around the outer semiconductive layer 11c.

更に、図3及び図4に見られるように、接地線引出金具の他端25b側には、その端面に開口する孔(有底の孔)25Dが形成されている。この孔25D内に接地線接続導体28の一端が挿入されて該孔25D内で接地線接続導体28が圧入、溶接、又は銀ろう付け等により接地線引出金具に接続されている。接地線接続導体28としては、平編導体のような可撓性を有する導体を用いることが好ましい。接地線接続導体28の他端には、防水形の圧着端子金具29が接続され、引き出される接地線15の一端に半田付けされた端子金具30(図2参照)がボルト31及びナット32により圧着端子金具29に接続されている。   Further, as seen in FIGS. 3 and 4, a hole (bottomed hole) 25 </ b> D that opens to the end face is formed on the other end 25 b side of the ground wire lead fitting. One end of the ground line connection conductor 28 is inserted into the hole 25D, and the ground line connection conductor 28 is connected to the ground line lead fitting by press fitting, welding, silver brazing, or the like in the hole 25D. As the ground line connecting conductor 28, it is preferable to use a flexible conductor such as a flat knitted conductor. A waterproof crimp terminal fitting 29 is connected to the other end of the ground wire connecting conductor 28, and a terminal fitting 30 (see FIG. 2) soldered to one end of the drawn ground wire 15 is crimped by a bolt 31 and a nut 32. It is connected to the terminal fitting 29.

なお本実施形態では、接地線接続導体28の他端に圧着端子金具29を接続して、該圧着端子金具29を介して接地線接続導体28と接地線15とを接続しているが、接地線接続導体28に圧着端子金具29を接続することなく、該接地線接続導体28を接地線や別の電力ケーブルから引き出された接地線接続導体等に圧着スリーブや半田付け等により接続するようにしても良い。また接地線15を、直接、接地線引出金具25に接続しても良い。   In the present embodiment, the crimp terminal fitting 29 is connected to the other end of the ground line connection conductor 28, and the ground line connection conductor 28 and the ground line 15 are connected via the crimp terminal fitting 29. Without connecting the crimp terminal fitting 29 to the line connection conductor 28, the ground line connection conductor 28 is connected to the ground line connection conductor or the like drawn from the ground line or another power cable by a crimp sleeve or soldering. May be. Further, the ground wire 15 may be directly connected to the ground wire lead fitting 25.

図4に示したように、接地線引出金具25の外面は防食性を有するコーティング用樹脂材料からなる防食層33により覆われ、接地線接続導体28の外周には防水絶縁テープ34が巻き付けられる。防食層33は、例えばポリ塩化ビニル樹脂等のコーティング用樹脂材料により形成するのが好ましい。防食層33は、ディッピング(接地線引出金具の凸面を処理槽に収容したコーティング用の樹脂液に接触させる方法)や吹きつけ塗装等の適宜の方法により形成することができる。接地線引出金具25の凹面25Aとシール層Sとの接着性を高め、凸面25Bと防食層33との接着性を高めるため、接地線引出金具25の凹面25A及び凸面25Bの外面には接着剤を塗布しておくのが好ましい。この接着剤としては、熱硬化性のものを用いるのが好ましい。接地線引出金具25の凸面から凹面にかけて接着剤を塗布しておくと、防食層33を接地線引出金具25に強固に接着することができ、防食層が剥がれて遮水性が損なわれるおそれをなくすことができる。特にディッピングにより防食層33を形成する場合には、接地線引出金具25の幅方向の両端部に達している防食層の端部が剥がれやすい。万一防食層の端部が剥がれると、その部分から接地線引出金具25の長手方向に沿って内部に水が浸入して遮水性が失われるため、上記のように接着剤を塗布して、防食層の端部の剥離を防止しておくことが有効である。   As shown in FIG. 4, the outer surface of the ground wire lead fitting 25 is covered with an anticorrosion layer 33 made of a coating resin material having anticorrosion properties, and a waterproof insulating tape 34 is wound around the outer periphery of the ground wire connection conductor 28. The anticorrosion layer 33 is preferably formed of a coating resin material such as polyvinyl chloride resin. The anticorrosion layer 33 can be formed by an appropriate method such as dipping (a method in which the convex surface of the ground wire lead fitting is brought into contact with the coating resin solution accommodated in the treatment tank) or spray coating. In order to improve the adhesiveness between the concave surface 25A of the ground wire lead-out fitting 25 and the seal layer S and to improve the adhesiveness between the convex surface 25B and the anticorrosion layer 33, an adhesive is applied to the outer surfaces of the concave surface 25A and the convex surface 25B of the ground wire lead-out metal fitting 25. It is preferable to apply. As this adhesive, it is preferable to use a thermosetting material. If an adhesive is applied from the convex surface to the concave surface of the ground wire lead fitting 25, the anticorrosion layer 33 can be firmly adhered to the ground wire lead fitting 25, and the possibility of the water barrier property being impaired due to the anticorrosion layer being peeled off is eliminated. be able to. In particular, when the anticorrosion layer 33 is formed by dipping, the end portions of the anticorrosion layer reaching the both end portions in the width direction of the ground wire lead fitting 25 are easily peeled off. In the unlikely event that the end of the anticorrosion layer is peeled off, water penetrates into the inside along the longitudinal direction of the ground wire lead fitting 25 from that portion and the water shielding property is lost, so apply the adhesive as described above, It is effective to prevent peeling of the end portion of the anticorrosion layer.

なお本実施形態では、接地線接続導体28として裸導体(好ましくは平編導体)を用いているが、接地線接続導体28は、外周に絶縁被覆を有する絶縁電線(但し可撓性を有するもの)からなっていても良い。接地線接続導体28として絶縁電線を用いる場合には、その電気的な接続に用いられる部分、即ち、接地線引出金具25に接続される部分及び接地線15又は他の電力ケーブルから引き出された接地線接続導体等に接続される部分のみの絶縁被覆を除去して、電気的な接続には用いない部分の絶縁被覆を残しておくことにより、テープ巻きを省略することができる。   In this embodiment, a bare conductor (preferably a flat knitted conductor) is used as the ground line connecting conductor 28. However, the ground line connecting conductor 28 is an insulated wire having an insulating coating on the outer periphery (however, having flexibility). ). When an insulated wire is used as the ground line connection conductor 28, a portion used for the electrical connection, that is, a portion connected to the ground wire lead fitting 25 and the ground drawn from the ground wire 15 or other power cable. The tape winding can be omitted by removing the insulating coating only on the portion connected to the line connecting conductor or the like and leaving the insulating coating on the portion not used for electrical connection.

接地線引出金具25の高さは、シールド導体11b1の接続及び接地線接続導体28の接続に支障を来さない大きさに設定される。図示のように、シールド導体11b1の端部に接続した端子金具26をボルト27により接地線引出金具25に接続する場合には、端子金具26及びボルト27が接地線引出金具25からはみ出さないように、接地線引出金具25の高さが設定される。絶縁シースの外径が40mm〜65mmの範囲にある66kVCVTクラスの電力ケーブルに接地線引出金具25を適用する場合、接地線引出金具25の高さは15mm〜25mmの範囲に設定することが好ましい。接地線引出金具25の高さが低すぎると、シールド導体11b1を接続するボルト27が接地線引出金具25からはみ出してしまう。例えば、ボルト27としてM8規格のものを用いる場合、その頭部が接地線引出金具25からはみ出さないようにするためには、接地線引出金具25の高さを15mm以上とすることが必要である。接地線引出金具25の高さが高すぎると、不安定になり、接地線引出金具25が電力ケーブルから落ちやすくなる。   The height of the ground wire lead fitting 25 is set to a size that does not hinder the connection of the shield conductor 11b1 and the connection of the ground wire connection conductor 28. As shown in the figure, when the terminal fitting 26 connected to the end of the shield conductor 11b1 is connected to the ground wire lead fitting 25 by the bolt 27, the terminal fitting 26 and the bolt 27 do not protrude from the ground wire lead fitting 25. In addition, the height of the ground wire lead fitting 25 is set. When the ground wire lead fitting 25 is applied to a 66 kVCVT class power cable having an outer diameter of the insulating sheath in the range of 40 mm to 65 mm, the height of the ground wire lead fitting 25 is preferably set to a range of 15 mm to 25 mm. If the height of the ground wire lead fitting 25 is too low, the bolt 27 connecting the shield conductor 11b1 protrudes from the ground wire lead fitting 25. For example, when an M8 standard bolt 27 is used, in order to prevent the head from protruding from the ground wire lead 25, the height of the ground wire lead 25 needs to be 15 mm or more. is there. If the height of the ground wire lead fitting 25 is too high, it becomes unstable and the ground wire lead fitting 25 tends to fall off the power cable.

図1及び図2に示されているように、接地線引出金具25は、その一端25aを電力ケーブル11のシールド導体導出部11fに向け、かつ凹面25Aを電力ケーブル11の絶縁シース11aの外周にシール層Sを介して当接させた状態で電力ケーブル11のシールド導体導出部11f付近に設置される。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the ground wire lead fitting 25 has one end 25 a directed to the shield conductor lead-out portion 11 f of the power cable 11 and a concave surface 25 A on the outer periphery of the insulating sheath 11 a of the power cable 11. The power cable 11 is installed in the vicinity of the shield conductor lead-out portion 11f in a state of being in contact with the seal layer S.

シール層Sは、粘着性と柔軟性及び(又は)弾性とを有するシール材からなる絶縁シート35により形成するのが好ましい。絶縁シート35としては、粘着性を有する絶縁パテシートが好適である。絶縁パテシートとしては、電力ケーブルの分野でケーブル同士の接続部のシール等の目的で広く用いられているものを使用することができる。   The sealing layer S is preferably formed of an insulating sheet 35 made of a sealing material having adhesiveness, flexibility, and / or elasticity. As the insulating sheet 35, an adhesive putty sheet having adhesiveness is suitable. As the insulating putty sheet, a sheet widely used for the purpose of sealing a connection portion between cables in the field of power cables can be used.

図6ないし図10は、電力ケーブル11の外周に接地線引出金具25を配置して固定する過程を順に示している。
電力ケーブル11の外周に接地線引出金具25を配置する際には、先ず図6(A)に示すように、電力ケーブル11の外周の接地線引出金具を配置する箇所に、矩形状の絶縁シート35を、その粘着性を利用して固定する。次いで図6(B)及び(C)に示すように絶縁シート35の上に接地線引出金具25を、その凹面25Aを絶縁シート35に接触させた状態で載せ、絶縁シート35の粘着性を利用して接地線引出金具25をシート35に固定する。このように、接地線引出金具25を配置した状態で、シール層Sの周縁部が接地線引出金具の凹面25Aを取り囲む周縁部から外側にはみ出すように、シール層を構成するシート35の大きさを設定しておく。
6 to 10 sequentially show the process of arranging and fixing the ground wire lead fitting 25 on the outer periphery of the power cable 11.
When arranging the ground wire lead fitting 25 on the outer periphery of the power cable 11, first, as shown in FIG. 6A, a rectangular insulating sheet is provided at the place where the ground wire lead fitting on the outer periphery of the power cable 11 is arranged. 35 is fixed using its adhesiveness. Next, as shown in FIGS. 6B and 6C, the grounding lead wire 25 is placed on the insulating sheet 35 with the concave surface 25A in contact with the insulating sheet 35, and the adhesiveness of the insulating sheet 35 is utilized. Then, the ground wire lead fitting 25 is fixed to the sheet 35. Thus, in the state where the ground wire lead fitting 25 is disposed, the size of the sheet 35 constituting the seal layer is such that the peripheral portion of the seal layer S protrudes outward from the peripheral portion surrounding the concave surface 25A of the ground wire lead fitting. Is set in advance.

上記のようにして電力ケーブル11の上に接地線引出金具25を設置した後、接地線引出金具の凹面25Aを取り囲む周縁部の全体に亘って、かつ接地線引出金具25とシール層Sの表面との間に跨って、接地線引出金具25に接着する接着性とシール層Sに融着する融着性と隙間内への充填性とを有するシール用テープを貼り付けることにより、接地線引出金具25とシール層Sの表面との間を液密にシールする。このシールを行う際には、先ず図7(A)及び(B)に示したように接地線引出金具25の幅方向の両端(軸線方向に対して直角な方向)の端縁部とシール層Sの外面とに跨って、接地線引出金具25の軸線方向にシール用テープ36を貼り付ける。   After installing the ground wire lead fitting 25 on the power cable 11 as described above, the surface of the ground wire lead fitting 25 and the seal layer S is formed over the entire peripheral edge surrounding the concave surface 25A of the ground wire lead fitting. Attaching a sealing tape having adhesiveness for adhering to the grounding wire drawing metal fitting 25, fusing property for fusing to the sealing layer S, and filling property in the gap between The space between the metal fitting 25 and the surface of the seal layer S is liquid-tightly sealed. When this sealing is performed, first, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the edge portions of the both ends in the width direction (direction perpendicular to the axial direction) of the ground wire lead 25 and the sealing layer A sealing tape 36 is affixed in the axial direction of the ground wire lead fitting 25 across the outer surface of S.

次いで、図8(A)ないし(C)に示したように、接地線引出金具25の軸線方向の(長手方向の)両端の端面の、凹面25Aの周方向に沿う端縁部と、シール層Sの外面とに跨って、凹面25Aの周方向に沿ってシール用テープ37を貼り付ける。シール用テープ36及び37を貼り付ける際には、接地線引出金具の端縁部とシール層Sの外面との間に存在する隙間にシール用テープを押し込んで、該隙間をシール用テープで充填するようにする。   Next, as shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C, end edges along the circumferential direction of the concave surface 25 </ b> A of the end faces of both ends in the axial direction (longitudinal direction) of the ground wire drawing fitting 25 and the seal layer A sealing tape 37 is pasted along the circumferential direction of the concave surface 25A across the outer surface of S. When affixing the sealing tapes 36 and 37, the sealing tape is pushed into the gap existing between the edge of the ground wire lead fitting and the outer surface of the sealing layer S, and the gap is filled with the sealing tape. To do.

接地線引出金具25の凸面の外周を覆う防食層33を形成した場合、図9(B)に示すように、接地線引出金具25の凹面25Aと凸面25Bとの境界部25p付近で接地線引出金具25の長手方向に沿って伸びる防食層33の端縁部33aが、接地線引出金具25の幅方向の端部に重なるため、接地線引出金具25の幅方向の両端の端部のR(曲率半径)が大きくなり、接地線引出金具25の幅方向の両端とシール層Sの外面との間に奥深い狭間隙G′が形成され易い。この狭間隙G′には、シール用テープ36が入りにくいため、この部分がシールの盲点になりやすい。   When the anticorrosion layer 33 covering the outer periphery of the convex surface of the ground wire lead fitting 25 is formed, as shown in FIG. 9B, the ground wire lead is drawn near the boundary 25p between the concave surface 25A and the convex surface 25B of the ground wire lead metal fitting 25. Since the edge portion 33a of the anticorrosion layer 33 extending along the longitudinal direction of the metal fitting 25 overlaps with the widthwise end portion of the ground wire drawing metal fitting 25, R ( (Curvature radius) increases, and a deep narrow gap G ′ is easily formed between both ends in the width direction of the ground wire lead fitting 25 and the outer surface of the seal layer S. Since the sealing tape 36 is difficult to enter the narrow gap G ′, this portion tends to become a blind spot of the seal.

そこで、本実施形態では、図9(A)に示したように、接地線引出金具の凹面と凸面との境界部25pで接地線引出金具の長手方向に沿って伸びる防食層33の端縁部33aが、先端側ほど薄くなるように加工されている。すなわち、傾斜面をなすように斜めに面取りされている。このように、防食層Sの端縁部33aを面取りしておくと、接地線引出金具25の幅方向の両端とシール層Sの外面との間に形成される間隙Gを浅くすることができるため、シール用テープ36を間隙Gに容易に充填することができ、シールの盲点が生じるのを防ぐことができる。   Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9A, the edge portion of the anticorrosion layer 33 extending along the longitudinal direction of the ground wire lead fitting at the boundary portion 25p between the concave surface and the convex surface of the ground wire lead fitting. 33a is processed so as to be thinner toward the tip side. That is, it is chamfered obliquely so as to form an inclined surface. In this way, when the edge portion 33a of the anticorrosion layer S is chamfered, the gap G formed between both ends in the width direction of the ground wire lead fitting 25 and the outer surface of the seal layer S can be made shallow. Therefore, the gap G can be easily filled with the sealing tape 36, and a blind spot of the seal can be prevented from occurring.

上記のようにして、接地線引出金具25とシール層Sの表面との間を液密にシールした後、図10に示したように、接地線引出金具25と電力ケーブル11とを一括して取り囲むようにシール用テープ38を巻く。このようにシール用テープ38を巻いた際に、接地線引出金具25の幅方向の両端の近傍でシール用テープ38と電力ケーブル11の外周との間に大きな隙間を生じさせないように、接地線引出金具25の凸面25Bの曲面形状と、接地線引出金具25の幅寸法とを設定しておく。   As described above, after sealing the space between the ground wire lead fitting 25 and the surface of the seal layer S, as shown in FIG. 10, the ground wire lead fitting 25 and the power cable 11 are bundled together. The sealing tape 38 is wound so as to surround it. In this way, when the sealing tape 38 is wound, a grounding wire is formed so as not to generate a large gap between the sealing tape 38 and the outer periphery of the power cable 11 in the vicinity of both ends in the width direction of the grounding wire extraction fitting 25. The curved surface shape of the convex surface 25B of the lead metal fitting 25 and the width dimension of the ground wire lead metal fitting 25 are set in advance.

シール用テープ36ないし38としては、ブチルゴムをベースとした自己融着テープ、粘着性水密テープ、パテテープ等、電力ケーブルの接続部の水密処理を行う際に用いられているものを用いることができる。   As the sealing tapes 36 to 38, those used when performing the watertight treatment of the connecting portion of the power cable, such as a self-bonding tape based on butyl rubber, an adhesive watertight tape, and a putty tape can be used.

上記のようにして、電力ケーブル11の外周に接地線引出金具25を設置した後、図2に示されているように、接地線引出金具25の外面の少なくとも一部と、電力ケーブル11のシールド導体導出部11f付近の外面とを含む要被覆部が、一括して保護外装部17により被覆され、保護外装部17と接地線引出金具25とにより、電力ケーブルのシールド導体導出部側の領域と前記接地線が引き出される側の領域との間の遮水が図られる。   After the ground wire lead fitting 25 is installed on the outer periphery of the power cable 11 as described above, at least a part of the outer surface of the ground wire lead fitting 25 and the shield of the power cable 11 as shown in FIG. The necessary covering portion including the outer surface in the vicinity of the conductor lead-out portion 11f is collectively covered with the protective sheathing portion 17, and the protective sheathing portion 17 and the ground wire lead-out fitting 25 provide a region on the shield conductor leading-out portion side of the power cable. Water shielding between the area on the side from which the ground wire is drawn out is achieved.

上記「要被覆部」は、電力ケーブルのシールド導体導出部側の領域と接地線が引き出される側の領域との間の遮水を図るために被覆する必要がある部分であり、要被覆部の範囲は、実験により検証して、適宜に設定される。   The above “covering portion” is a portion that needs to be covered in order to provide water shielding between the region on the shield conductor lead-out portion side of the power cable and the region on the side from which the ground wire is drawn. The range is verified appropriately by experiments and set as appropriate.

本実施形態では、図1に示すように、保護外装部17は、電力ケーブル11の接地線引出金具25が配置された部分から電力ケーブル12のケーブル接続部本体13付近の部分に至るように配置されている。この保護外装部17は、図2に示すように、ケーブル接続部本体13と、接地線引出金具25の大部分(接地線引出部16の大部分)と、ケーブル接続部本体13により接続されている電力ケーブル11,12のケーブル接続部本体13寄りの一定長さの部分とを一括して覆う被覆層17aと、被覆層17aの端部から該被覆層内に水が浸入するのを阻止するために、被覆層17aの端部と接地線引出金具25の外周及び電力ケーブル11の外周とに跨って巻き付けられた防水テープ17bとにより構成されている。防水テープ17bとしては、自己融着テープを用いるのが好ましい。   In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the protective armor 17 is disposed so as to extend from a portion where the ground wire lead fitting 25 of the power cable 11 is disposed to a portion near the cable connecting portion main body 13 of the power cable 12. Has been. As shown in FIG. 2, the protective exterior portion 17 is connected by the cable connection portion main body 13, the most part of the ground wire lead fitting 25 (most portion of the ground wire lead portion 16), and the cable connection portion main body 13. A covering layer 17a that collectively covers a portion of the power cables 11 and 12 that are close to the cable connecting portion main body 13 and that prevents water from entering the covering layer from the end of the covering layer 17a. Therefore, the waterproof tape 17b is wound around the end of the covering layer 17a, the outer periphery of the ground wire lead fitting 25, and the outer periphery of the power cable 11. It is preferable to use a self-bonding tape as the waterproof tape 17b.

被覆層17aは、遮水性を有する収縮チューブからなっていて、被覆層17aの遮水性と、防水テープ17bによる遮水機能(被覆層17aの端部から該被覆層内に水が浸入するのを阻止する機能)とにより、保護外装部17が遮水構造(外部からの水の浸入を遮断する構造)とされている。   The covering layer 17a is made of a shrinkable tube having a water-blocking property, and the water-blocking function of the coating layer 17a and the water-blocking function by the waterproof tape 17b (water enters the coating layer from the end of the coating layer 17a). Therefore, the protective exterior portion 17 has a water shielding structure (a structure for blocking water from entering from the outside).

本実施形態では、接地線引出金具25の凸面25Bの外周面にディッピング等により防食層33が形成されているが、防食層33は、被覆層17aを形成する収縮チューブとの密着性が良い。従って、凸面25Bの外周面に防食層33を形成しておくと、接地線引出金具25の耐食性を高めることができるだけでなく、被覆層17aと接地線引出金具25の凸面25Bとの密着性を良くして、遮水性能を高めることができる。   In the present embodiment, the anticorrosion layer 33 is formed by dipping or the like on the outer peripheral surface of the convex surface 25B of the ground wire lead fitting 25, but the anticorrosion layer 33 has good adhesion to the shrinkable tube forming the coating layer 17a. Therefore, if the anticorrosion layer 33 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the convex surface 25B, not only can the corrosion resistance of the ground wire lead fitting 25 be improved, but also the adhesion between the coating layer 17a and the convex surface 25B of the ground wire lead fitting 25 can be improved. It is possible to improve the water shielding performance.

なお保護外装部17の内側にはケーブル接続部本体13を覆う半導電層や遮蔽層を形成するためのテーピングなどが施されるが、本発明の要旨とは直接関係がないためその説明は省略する。   Note that taping or the like for forming a semiconductive layer or a shielding layer for covering the cable connecting portion main body 13 is applied to the inner side of the protective exterior portion 17, but the description thereof is omitted because it is not directly related to the gist of the present invention. To do.

図2に示した例では、収縮チューブからなる被覆層17aの端部が接地線引出金具25の他端25bの手前の位置で終端しているが、防水テープ17bの巻き付けに支障を来さない範囲で、被覆層17aの端部の位置を接地線引出金具の他端25bに近づけることもできる。被覆層17aは、接地線引出金具25の外面の大部分を覆うように設ければよく、その端部の位置は特定の位置に限定されないが、被覆層17aと接地線引出金具25との重なり代L2が、所定の遮水性能が得るために必要な大きさを下回らないようにしておく必要がある。   In the example shown in FIG. 2, the end portion of the covering layer 17a made of a shrinkable tube is terminated at a position before the other end 25b of the ground wire lead fitting 25, but does not hinder the winding of the waterproof tape 17b. Within the range, the position of the end portion of the coating layer 17a can be brought closer to the other end 25b of the ground wire lead fitting. The covering layer 17a may be provided so as to cover most of the outer surface of the ground wire lead fitting 25, and the position of the end portion is not limited to a specific position, but the covering layer 17a overlaps with the ground wire lead fitting 25. It is necessary that the margin L2 does not fall below the size necessary for obtaining a predetermined water shielding performance.

被覆層17aを構成する収縮性チューブとしては、常温で収縮性を有するもの、又は加熱されることにより収縮するもの(熱収縮性チューブ)を選択する。「常温で収縮性を有するチューブ」は、弾性材料からなっていて、自由な状態では要被覆部の外径よりも小さい内径を有し、要被覆部に被せられたときに自らが有する弾性により常温で収縮するものであり、典型的のものは、ゴムチューブである。   As the shrinkable tube constituting the coating layer 17a, a shrinkable tube at room temperature or a tube that shrinks when heated (heat-shrinkable tube) is selected. “Tubes that are shrinkable at room temperature” are made of an elastic material, have an inner diameter that is smaller than the outer diameter of the required covering portion in a free state, and are elastic due to their own elasticity when covered with the required covering portion. One that shrinks at room temperature, and a typical one is a rubber tube.

常温収縮性のチューブにより被覆層17aを形成する場合には、適宜の拡径手段により該チューブの径を拡大した状態で該チューブを要被覆部に被せた後、径拡手段をチューブから外して、その径を収縮させることにより、チューブを要被覆部に密着させる。   When the coating layer 17a is formed from a cold-shrinkable tube, after covering the tube with the necessary covering portion in a state where the diameter of the tube is expanded by an appropriate diameter expanding means, the diameter expanding means is removed from the tube. By contracting the diameter, the tube is brought into close contact with the covering portion.

本実施形態では、接地線接続導体28の導出部及び電力ケーブル11の導出部の防水を効果的に図るため、更に図2、図12に示したような分岐ユニット40が設けられている。図示の分岐ユニット40は、被覆層17aで被覆された接地線引出金具25と電力ケーブル11とを一括して収容し得る形状及び大きさを有する有底の筒部41と、筒部41の底部から外方に突出して延びる第1の分岐管部42及び第2の分岐管部43とを一体に有している。筒部41は、その横断面が、電力ケーブル11の外周の一部を隙間を介して取り囲む大径の円弧状部41aの両端と、接地線引出金具25の外面を隙間を介して取り囲む小径の円弧状部41bの両端との間をそれぞれ直線41c,41dで結んだほぼ卵形の輪郭形状を有するように形成されている。筒部41の底部には、大径の円弧状部41a側及び小径の円弧状部41b側にそれぞれ位置させて、第1の分岐管部42及び第2の分岐管部43が、それぞれの中心軸線を筒部41の軸線と平行させた状態で突設されている。第1の分岐管部42は、電力ケーブル11を貫通させ得る大きさに形成され、第2の分岐管部43は、接地線接続導体28を貫通させ得る大きさに形成されている。   In the present embodiment, a branch unit 40 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 12 is further provided to effectively waterproof the lead-out portion of the ground line connecting conductor 28 and the lead-out portion of the power cable 11. The illustrated branch unit 40 includes a bottomed tubular portion 41 having a shape and a size capable of collectively housing the ground wire lead fitting 25 and the power cable 11 covered with the covering layer 17a, and a bottom portion of the tubular portion 41. The first branch pipe portion 42 and the second branch pipe portion 43 that protrude outwardly from each other are integrally provided. The cylindrical portion 41 has a small cross-section that surrounds both ends of the large-diameter arc-shaped portion 41a that surrounds a part of the outer periphery of the power cable 11 via a gap and the outer surface of the ground wire lead fitting 25 via a gap. The arc-shaped portion 41b is formed so as to have a substantially oval contour shape connecting the both ends with straight lines 41c and 41d. The first branch pipe part 42 and the second branch pipe part 43 are respectively located at the bottom of the cylindrical part 41 on the large-diameter arcuate part 41a side and the small-diameter arcuate part 41b side. The projection is provided in a state where the axis is parallel to the axis of the cylindrical portion 41. The first branch pipe portion 42 is formed to a size that allows the power cable 11 to pass therethrough, and the second branch pipe portion 43 is formed to a size that allows the ground line connection conductor 28 to pass therethrough.

上記分岐管ユニット40は、図2に示されているように、その筒部41内に接地線引出金具25と電力ケーブル11及び被覆層17aの一部とを収容した状態で、電力ケーブル11の接地線引出金具25が配置された部分に装着されている。そして、電力ケーブル11の接地線引出金具25よりも接地線側に位置する部分が、第1の分岐管部42内を通して外部に導出され、接地線接続導体28が、第2の分岐管43内を通して外部に導出されている。   As shown in FIG. 2, the branch pipe unit 40 includes a ground wire lead fitting 25, the power cable 11, and a part of the covering layer 17 a in a cylindrical portion 41 of the power cable 11. It is attached to the portion where the ground wire lead fitting 25 is disposed. A portion of the power cable 11 that is located closer to the ground line than the ground line lead fitting 25 is led out through the first branch pipe portion 42, and the ground line connection conductor 28 is connected to the second branch pipe 43. It is derived to the outside through.

また分岐管ユニット40の筒部41と被覆層17aとの間をシールする防水層45と、第1の分岐管部42と該第1の分岐管部から導出された電力ケーブル11との間をシールする防水層46と、第2の分岐管部43と該第2の分岐管部から導出された接地線接続導体28との間をシールする防水層47とが形成されている。分岐管ユニット40内には、防水コンパウンド50やジェルを充填するのが好ましい。   Further, a waterproof layer 45 that seals between the tube portion 41 of the branch pipe unit 40 and the covering layer 17a, and the first cable branch portion 42 and the power cable 11 led out from the first branch pipe portion. A waterproof layer 46 for sealing, and a waterproof layer 47 for sealing between the second branch pipe portion 43 and the ground line connecting conductor 28 led out from the second branch pipe portion are formed. The branch pipe unit 40 is preferably filled with a waterproof compound 50 or gel.

図示の例では、分岐管ユニット40の筒部41と被覆層17aとの間の防水を図る防水層45が、分岐管ユニット40の筒部41の外周と被覆層17aの外周とに跨って自己融着テープ等からなる防水テープ又は防水用絶縁パテを巻き付けることにより形成されている。また、第1の分岐管部42と該第1の分岐管部から導出された電力ケーブル11との間の防水を図る防水層46は、第1の分岐管部42の外周と電力ケーブル11の外周とに跨って防水テープ又は防水用絶縁パテを付けることにより形成され、第2の分岐管部43と該第2の分岐管部から導出された接地線接続導体28との間の防水を図る防水層47は、第2の分岐管部43と接地線接続導体28との間に防水用パテやテープ等を付けることにより形成されている。   In the illustrated example, the waterproof layer 45 for waterproofing between the cylindrical portion 41 of the branch pipe unit 40 and the covering layer 17a is self-stretched across the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion 41 of the branch pipe unit 40 and the outer periphery of the covering layer 17a. It is formed by winding a waterproof tape made of a fusion tape or the like or a waterproof insulating putty. Further, the waterproof layer 46 for waterproofing between the first branch pipe portion 42 and the power cable 11 led out from the first branch pipe portion is provided on the outer periphery of the first branch pipe portion 42 and the power cable 11. It is formed by attaching a waterproof tape or a waterproof insulating putty across the outer periphery, and waterproofing is performed between the second branch pipe portion 43 and the ground line connecting conductor 28 led out from the second branch pipe portion. The waterproof layer 47 is formed by attaching a waterproof putty, a tape, or the like between the second branch pipe portion 43 and the ground line connecting conductor 28.

図2に示した例では、分岐管ユニット40の第2の分岐管部43を通して導出された接地線接続導体28の端部と、該接地線接続導体28に接続された接地線15とを覆うように絶縁被覆48が設けられている。   In the example shown in FIG. 2, the end of the ground line connection conductor 28 led out through the second branch pipe portion 43 of the branch pipe unit 40 and the ground line 15 connected to the ground line connection conductor 28 are covered. Thus, an insulating coating 48 is provided.

上記のように、ケーブル11の軸線方向に一定の長さ(遮水を図るために十分な長さ)L1を有する接地線引出金具25の凹面25Aを電力ケーブル11の絶縁シース11aの外周にシール材35を介して面接触させて、この接地線引出金具25を通して接地線15とケーブル11の遮蔽層から導出されたシールド導体11b1とを接続する構造にすると、接地線引出金具25が電力ケーブル11の絶縁シース11aにシール材35を介して広い面積で接触して遮水壁を構成するため、接地線引出金具25と電力ケーブル11の絶縁シース11aとの間を通して内部に水が浸入するのを確実に防止することができる。また本実施形態の接地線引出部では、要被覆部を一括して被覆する収縮性の被覆層17aが、接地線に比べてはるかに大きい外表面積を有する接地線引出金具25の外面に面接触するので、該被覆層17aと接地線引出金具25との間を通して内部に水が浸入するのを確実に阻止することができる。従って、本発明によれば、電力ケーブルのシールド導体導出部側の領域と接地線が引き出される側の領域との間の遮水を確実に図ることができ、接地線引出部の遮水性能を向上させることができる。   As described above, the concave surface 25A of the ground wire lead fitting 25 having a certain length L1 in the axial direction of the cable 11 (a sufficient length for water shielding) is sealed to the outer periphery of the insulating sheath 11a of the power cable 11. If the ground wire 15 and the shield conductor 11b1 led out from the shielding layer of the cable 11 are connected through the ground wire drawing metal fitting 25 through the surface 35, the ground wire drawing metal fitting 25 is connected to the power cable 11 through the ground wire drawing metal fitting 25. In order to form a water shielding wall by contacting the insulating sheath 11a with a large area through the sealing material 35, water enters the inside through the space between the ground wire lead fitting 25 and the insulating sheath 11a of the power cable 11. It can be surely prevented. Further, in the ground wire lead portion of the present embodiment, the shrinkable coating layer 17a that collectively covers the required covering portion is in surface contact with the outer surface of the ground wire lead fitting 25 having a much larger outer surface area than the ground wire. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent water from entering the inside through the space between the coating layer 17a and the ground wire lead fitting 25. Therefore, according to the present invention, water shielding between the region on the shield conductor lead-out portion side of the power cable and the region on the side from which the ground wire is drawn can be reliably achieved, and the water shielding performance of the ground wire lead portion can be improved. Can be improved.

また上記のように構成すると、接地線15に比べて十分に広い外表面を有する接地線引出金具25が電力ケーブル11の絶縁シース11aの外面と要被覆部を被覆する被覆層17aとに面接触して遮水を図るので、電力ケーブルの絶縁シースの外面と要被覆部を被覆する被覆層17aとの間から接地線を直接引き出す場合に比べて、遮水機能を果たす部分の面積を大幅に広くして遮水性能を向上させることができる。   Further, when configured as described above, the ground wire lead fitting 25 having an outer surface sufficiently wider than the ground wire 15 is in surface contact with the outer surface of the insulating sheath 11a of the power cable 11 and the covering layer 17a covering the required covering portion. Therefore, compared with the case where the ground wire is directly drawn out between the outer surface of the insulation sheath of the power cable and the covering layer 17a covering the required covering portion, the area of the portion that performs the water blocking function is greatly increased. It can be widened to improve the water shielding performance.

図13は、本発明の他の実施形態を示している。前記の実施形態では、分岐管ユニット40を設けて、電力ケーブル11の導出部及び接地線接続導体28の導出部の防水を図るようにしたが、図13に示した実施形態では、分岐管ユニット40が省略されている。   FIG. 13 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In the above embodiment, the branch pipe unit 40 is provided to waterproof the lead-out portion of the power cable 11 and the lead-out portion of the ground wire connection conductor 28. However, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 40 is omitted.

上記の各実施形態では、接地線15を接地線接続導体28を介して接地線引出金具25に接続するようにしたが、接地線15を直接接地線引出金具25に接続するように構成することもできる。   In each of the above embodiments, the ground wire 15 is connected to the ground wire lead fitting 25 via the ground wire connecting conductor 28. However, the ground wire 15 is configured to be directly connected to the ground wire lead fitting 25. You can also.

シールド導体11b1と接地線引出金具25との接続の仕方及び接地線接続導体28又は接地線15と接地線引出金具25との接続の仕方は、電気的及び機械的な接続を図ることができるものであればよく、上記の例に限定されない。   The connection method between the shield conductor 11b1 and the ground wire lead fitting 25 and the connection method between the ground wire connection conductor 28 or the ground wire 15 and the ground wire lead fitting 25 can be electrically and mechanically connected. There is no limitation to the above example.

例えば、図14に示したように、接地線引出金具25の一端側に、該接地線引出金具の凸面の頂部に対して段差を有するシールド導体接続部を設けることなく、接地線引出金具25の一端にシールド導体接続導体60を接続して、シールド導体11b1をこのシールド導体接続導体60を介して接地線引出金具25に接続するようにしても良い。   For example, as shown in FIG. 14, without providing a shield conductor connecting portion having a step with respect to the top of the convex surface of the ground wire lead fitting 25 on one end side of the ground wire lead fitting 25, The shield conductor connection conductor 60 may be connected to one end, and the shield conductor 11b1 may be connected to the ground wire lead fitting 25 via the shield conductor connection conductor 60.

図14に示した例では、接地線引出金具25の一端の端面に開口するようにして接地線引出金具25に形成された孔(有底の孔)内にシールド導体接続導体60の一端を挿入して該孔内でシールド導体接続導体60が接地線引出金具25に電気的に接続されている。そして、電力ケーブルの遮蔽層から導出されたシールド導体11b1が、圧着スリーブ61やろう付けなどによりシールド導体接続導体60に接続され、シールド導体11b1がシールド導体接続導体60を通して接地線引出金具25に電気的に接続されている。   In the example shown in FIG. 14, one end of the shield conductor connecting conductor 60 is inserted into a hole (bottomed hole) formed in the grounding wire lead-out fitting 25 so as to open at one end face of the grounding wire lead-out fitting 25. The shield conductor connection conductor 60 is electrically connected to the ground wire lead fitting 25 in the hole. The shield conductor 11b1 derived from the shield layer of the power cable is connected to the shield conductor connection conductor 60 by a crimp sleeve 61 or brazing, and the shield conductor 11b1 is electrically connected to the ground wire lead fitting 25 through the shield conductor connection conductor 60. Connected.

図15は、本発明の更に他の実施形態を示したもので、この実施形態では、接地線引出金具25の他端寄りの一部の肉厚を薄くすることにより接地線引出金具25の他端側に凸面25Bの頂部に対して段差を有する接地線接続導体接続部(図2に示されたシールド導体接続部25Cと同様のもの)25C′が形成されている。接地線接続導体接続部25C′には、図2に示されたシールド導体11b1とシールド導体接続部25Cとの接続構造と同様の構造で、接地線接続導体28が接続されている。   FIG. 15 shows still another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the thickness of a part of the ground wire lead fitting 25 near the other end is made thinner so that the ground wire lead fitting 25 is further removed. A ground line connecting conductor connecting portion (similar to the shield conductor connecting portion 25C shown in FIG. 2) 25C ′ having a step with respect to the top of the convex surface 25B is formed on the end side. A ground line connection conductor 28 is connected to the ground line connection conductor connection portion 25C ′ in the same structure as the connection structure between the shield conductor 11b1 and the shield conductor connection portion 25C shown in FIG.

上記の実施形態では、接地線引出金具が中実に形成されているが、本発明は、接地線引出金具25を中実に形成する場合に限定されるものではなく、接地線引出金具25は中空に形成されていても良い。中空の接地線引出金具25は、例えば、凸面側の部分を構成する部材及び凹面側の部分を構成する部材をそれぞれ板状の部材を湾曲させることにより製作するとともに、両端の壁部を構成する部材を板状部材を打ち抜くことにより製作して、これらの部材を組み合わせて溶接やろう付けなどにより接合することにより得ることができる。   In the above embodiment, the ground wire lead fitting is solid, but the present invention is not limited to the case where the ground wire lead fitting 25 is solid, and the ground wire lead fitting 25 is hollow. It may be formed. The hollow ground wire lead fitting 25 is formed, for example, by bending a plate-shaped member into a member constituting the convex portion and a member constituting the concave portion, and constitutes the wall portions at both ends. The members can be manufactured by punching plate-like members, and these members can be combined and joined by welding or brazing.

またパイプ状の金属部材をプレス加工等により変形させることにより凹面25A及び凸面25Bを有する中空の金属部材を製造して、この中空金属部材の両端の開口部を閉じる端板を該中空部材の両端に溶接又はろう付け等により接合することによっても中空の接地線引出金具を得ることができる。   Further, a hollow metal member having a concave surface 25A and a convex surface 25B is manufactured by deforming a pipe-shaped metal member by pressing or the like, and end plates for closing the openings at both ends of the hollow metal member are formed at both ends of the hollow member. It is also possible to obtain a hollow ground wire lead metal fitting by joining to the metal by welding or brazing.

更に、凹面及び凸面を有する長尺の中空部材を押出し加工により製造した後、この長尺の中空部材を適当な長さにカットすることにより凹面25A及び凸面25Bを有する必要長さの中空金属部材を得て、この金属部材の両端の開口部を閉じる端板を該金属部材の両端に溶接又はろう付け等により接合することによっても中空の接地線引出金具を得ることができる。   Further, after a long hollow member having a concave surface and a convex surface is manufactured by extrusion processing, the long hollow member is cut into an appropriate length, and thereby a hollow metal member having a necessary length having a concave surface 25A and a convex surface 25B. A hollow ground wire lead metal fitting can be obtained also by joining end plates that close the openings at both ends of the metal member to both ends of the metal member by welding or brazing.

接地線引出金具25を中空に構成する場合、電力ケーブルの絶縁シースから引き出されたシールド導体と接地線引出金具25との接続構造及び接地線接続導体28と接地線引出金具25との接続構造は任意であるが、シールド導体と接地線引出金具25及び接地線接続導体28と接地線引出金具25をそれぞれ接続した状態で、接地線引出金具の中空部内が外部に対して閉鎖されるように、上記各接続構造を構成するのが好ましい。   When the ground wire lead fitting 25 is configured to be hollow, the connection structure between the shield conductor drawn from the insulation sheath of the power cable and the ground wire lead fitting 25 and the connection structure between the ground line connection conductor 28 and the ground wire lead fitting 25 are as follows.
