Multiple part insulator for flexible gas-insulated transmission line cable

Abstract From the Canadian patent

An insulator disk for supporting a flexible conductor within a flexible gas-filled outer housing consists of three identical segments which latch together to form a complete disk around the central flexible conductor of the flexible cable. The outer peripheries of the three segments form a continuous outer periphery which is pressed into engagement with the interior surface of the grounded outer housing. Each of the identical segments has an extending latch at one of their outer surface ends and a latch receiving surface at the outer surface ends and a latch receiving surface at the other of their outer surface ends, wherein the extending latch of one segment latches into the …
