A cable shield connecting device for installation on a high voltage cable of the type having a metallic shield, the device including a relatively conformable, looped metal bar for placement around a bared portion of the metallic shield to extend circumferentially around a major portion of the circumference of the metallic shield while being spaced radially therefrom, a plurality of relatively flexible metallic fingers affixed to the bar, projecting from the bar in an axial direction and spaced circumferentially along the bar, each finger being attached to the metallic shield at a portion located remote from the bar to make electrical contact with the metallic shield, and a connecting conductor integral with the bar.

A connecting device in combination with a high voltage power cable of the type having an inner conductor, insulation surrounding the conductor, and a shielding system including a metallic shield with a layer of overlying wire strands thereon surrounding the insulation, said connecting device compris

A connecting device in combination with a high voltage power cable of the type having an inner conductor, insulation surrounding the conductor, and a shielding system including a metallic shield with a layer of overlying wire strands thereon surrounding the insulation, said connecting device comprising: (a) an electrically conductive bar circumferentially around a portion of the shielding system in a manner to establish a radial gap between the portion of the shielding system and the bar, the gap being of a size to permit the wire strands to extend therethrough such that the wire strands are enabled to be bent back over an external surface of the bar for electrical connection thereto; and (b) a plurality of electrically conductive fingers, all circumferentially spaced and projecting from the bar in a manner to allow the fingers to extend axially along the shielding system when the bar is placed circumferentially thereabout, a first set of the plurality of fingers being of a first axial length and a second set of the plurality of fingers being of a second different axial length, each finger having a portion located remote from the bar and being attached to the shielding system, and each space between the fingers being of a size to allow different ones of the wire strands which extend through the gap to pass between adjacent fingers and be bent back over an external surface of the bar for electrical connection to the bar.
