Difference study on European and American standards for separable connector

At present most of the cable terminals used in the fully enclosed gas-filled ring cabinet are separable connectors. In this paper, firstly the European standard EN50181 and the IEEE Std 386TM-2016 standard adopted by American enterprises were systematically analyzed and compared, then technical differences of separable connectors under different standard constraints was studied. The effect of the size and position of the internal shielding of the bushing on the electric field distribution have been simulated. The research is helpful to put forward the inspection and maintenance specifications of separable connectors that meet the requirements of inflatable cabinets in China.
