Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a cable termination connection device for transformers. Background Technology
[0002] On the secondary side of a transformer, cables are often used for lead-out. However, due to the differences in the models of cable plugs, the components connecting the plugs inside the transformer are complex and varied. Furthermore, once the installation angle of the cable plug changes, the connection device cannot be matched, requiring the redesign and production of such a connection device. This redesigned and produced connection device then needs to be sent to the site for installation, which inevitably leads to a waste of time and cost. Utility Model Content
