ABSTRACT:
A coupling flex-plate member comprising a circular metallic member having a centrally-disposed annular groove provided therein, providing a generally H-shaped cross-section, is fixedly secured to the confronting ends of adjacent inner high-voltage tubular conductors of a gas-insulated transmission line to permit a limited, but sufficient flexibility, of the inner conductor sections, or conductor buses. A low-strength high-conductivity material is used for the coupling flex-plate member, and permits an axial bending in a spring-like fashion until material yielding occurs. Inaccuracies during fabrication and assembly of the component parts are accommodated by the use of such a coupling flex-plate member without damaging adjacent components, especially spacing insulators, which are, of course, brittle and subject to fracture.
