ABSTRACT:
A drawout switchgear assembly which can be disconnected from a shielded cable electric distribution system under energized cable conditions. Each of the switchgear source and load bushings is held within a stationary cable connector with sufficient pressure exerted by the switchgear drawout operating mechanism to maintain a waterproof, fully shielded connection. Each stationary cable connector includes a current exchange bayonet member carrying a louvered band having resilient contact fingers which engage the movable switchgear bushing rod within a cavity of this rod for receiving the bayonet member. A switchgear drawout operating mechanism includes a mechanical interlock which allows withdrawal or reconnection of the switchgear only when the switchgear is in its open position.
