The present invention is directed to a support system for electrical cables made out of insulating material for use in high voltage equipment such as liquid filled transformers and reactors. Electrical cables in high voltage equipment such as cables in liquid filled transformers or reactors which connect winding ends or winding taps to tap changers, bushings, or other components like current transformers and the like are subjected to high mechanical forces in the event of a short circuit in service. They are also subjected to over-voltages such as lightning surges which create high electrical stress.
It is common practice to custom design the necessary cable clamping fixtures for each individual transformer. The cable clamping fixtures are generally made out of wood, transformer wood or transformer board. It is obvious that when the production is based on the custom fitting of a cable clamping system, the production costs become expensive and lead to an unwarranted lengthening of the production cycle.
