3. Definitions
For the purposes of this standard,the following terms and definitions apply. The Authoritative Dictionaryof 1EEE’Stamdards Terms [B7]should be referenced for terms not defined in this clause.
The following definitions are the intended meanings of terms used in this standard or associated withseparable insulated connector systems.Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 16, Figure 17, and Figure 18 show typicalcomponents of separable insulated connectors. The term connector as used in this standard means separableinsulated connector.
3.1 arc quenching rod: An ablative material added to the end of a probe that serves to pressurize and coolthe arc and help deionize the arc by products while approaching current zero，assisting in the arcinternuption process.
3.2 arc ring: Material inserted between the metal contact area of a loadbreak probe and the arc quenchingrod for the purpose of limiting arc damage to the probe metal.
NOIE—See Figue 8 and Figure 9.6
3.3 bushing extender: A connector that provides two in-line elbow interfaces.
3.4 bushing insert: A connector component intended for insertion into a bushing well designed for usewith another connector component, such as an elbow.
NOTE—See Figue 1.
3.5 bushing well: An apparatus bushing having a cavity for insertion of connector component, such as abushing insert.
NO1E-See Figue 1.
3.6 bushing well plug: An accessory device designed to electrically insulate,electrically shield,andmechanically seal a bushing well.
3.7 cable adapter: A connector component that fits over the insulation of the cable increasing its diameterto properly mate with the cable accessory.
3.8compression lug: The intermal current carrying part of an elbow designed for the transition of thecurrent path from the cable conductor to the connector.
3.9 connecting plug: A connector that provides two in-line bushing interfaces.
3.10 continuous current rating: The designated rms alternating or direct current that the connector cancarry continuously under specified conditions.
