Method for Electrically Conductively Connecting the Electrical Conductors of Two High Voltage Cables Related Application: [001] This application claims the benefit of priority from European Patent Application No. 12 305 789.5, filed on July 2, 2012, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference. Background: Field of the Invention: [002] The invention relates to a method for electrically conductively connecting the electrical conductors of two high voltage cables which each include a conductor constructed as a Milliken conductor surrounded by a casing of insulating material, in which a pipe piece of metal is used which is provided over its entire length and distributed over its circumference with a plurality of throughholes provided with a thread for receiving securing screws, and approximately in its middle in a plane extending at a right angle to its axis, several central throughholes provided with a thread and offset relative to each other in the circumferential direction and provided with a thread for receiving contact screws (EP 2 226 899 Al). Description of Related Art: [003] As a rule, Milliken conductors are used in single conductor high voltage cables with large conductor cross sections which are, for example, above 1,000mm2. They consist 1 of a plurality of electrically conductive wires which are stranded together and are combined in at least three sector conductors which together form a circular conductor. Such a Milliken conductor with six sector conductors is disclosed, for example, in DE 40 36 169 C2. For reducing the skin effect, on the one hand, and the proximity effect, on the other hand, the sector conductors are insulated relative to each other. For further reducing the influence of these two effects, the individual wires of the Milliken conductor may also be insulated relative to each other, for example, by applying a varnish layer to each individual wire. For effectively electrically conductively connecting the Milliken conductors of two high voltage cables using conventional connecting elements, all insulation layers of the conductors must be removed in the area of the connecting point with great difficulty, so that as much as possible all wires of the conductor can be connected through an electrically conductive connection. [004] The above mentioned EP 2 226 899 Al describes a method for electrically conductively connecting two electrical conductors which can also be used for Milliken conductors. The two conductors to be connected are introduced into a pipe piece of metal equipped with securing screws in such a way that a gap remains between the end faces of the two conductors. They are secured in this position by means of the securing screws in the pipe piece. Contact screws equipped with a rotatable, conically constructed tip are screwed into the gap between the two conductors. The tip is screwed into a respective recess of a fixing screw. As compared to the thread of the fixing screw, the top has an oppositely directed external thread. Because of the opposite threads, the tip of each fixing screw penetrates deeply into the gap between the conductors. 2 [005] Any reference herein to known prior art does not, unless the contrary indication appears, constitute an admission that such prior art is commonly known by those skilled in the art to which the invention relates, at the priority date of this application. Objects and Summary: [006] The invention is based on the object of developing the above described method in such a way that the two Milliken conductors can be electrically effectively connected through with reduced cost. [007] In accordance with the invention, the object is met by initially exposing the conductors of the two cables at their ends by removing the respective casing, the two conductors are then inserted into the pipe piece from such different sides that they rest against each other on the level of the central throughholes with their end faces extending perpendicularly to their axis, the conductors are then secured in the pipe piece by means of the securing screws, bores extending in the radial direction are then produced through the central throughholes into which the two conductors of the two cables project in the area of their end faces and are constructed with a diameter which is smaller in relation to the diameter of the central throughholes, and subsequently contact screws of electrically well conductive metal are screwed into the central throughholes and further into the bores, wherein during their assembly, they cut with their thread into the two conductors. [008] When using this method, only the two conductors of the cables to be connected, which have been freed from the casing, have to be inserted into the pipe piece and secured therein with end faces which rest against each other. Any insulating 3 materials present in the conductors of the two cables, such as the mutual insulation of the sector conductors and possibly any varnish layers present on the individual wires can remain. After securing the two conductors in the pipe piece by means of the securing screws, the latter rest immovably against each other with their end faces. Then bores are produced by means of a drill guided through the central throughholes which protrude radially into the pipe piece and are placed between the two conductors in such a way that they protrude as uniformly as possible into the two conductors. The contact screws, which are to be screwed as the last step into the central throughholes and further into the bores, have a diameter which is slightly larger than the inner diameters of the bores so that they cut with their threads into the two conductors. The electrically conducting connection between the conductors of the two cables is now finished. Any current to be conducted by the cables flows, if necessary, through the contact screws directly from conductor to conductor. Preferably, the contact screws consist, in dependence on the material of the conductors, or of a copper alloy or an aluminum alloy. Brief Description of Drawing: [009] The method according to the invention will be explained with the aid of the drawing as an embodiment. [010] In the drawing: [011] Fig. 1 schematically shows, partially in section a connecting point between two high voltage electrical cables with Milliken conductors. [012] Fig. 2 is a view of the end face of the cable according to Fig. 1. 4 [013] Fig. 3 shows partially in section a connecting point which is supplemented as compared to Fig. 1.

[016] Fig. 7 is a sectional view of a supplemented component according to Fig. 3. [017] Fig. 8 is a sectional view along sectional line VIII-VIII of Fig. 7. [018] Fig. 9 shows a connecting point which is further supplemented as compared to Fig. 7. [019] Fig. 10 is a sectional view along sectional line X-X of Fig. 9. [020] Fig. 11 is a sectional view of a connecting point further supplemented as compared to Fig. 9. Detailed Description: [021] Fig. 1 schematically shows a connection point between two cables 1 and 2 whose conductors 3 and 4 are located in a pipe piece 5 of metal. They are secured in the pipe piece 5 by a plurality of securing screws 6 in a position in which their end faces rest against each other in a plane 7 which extends perpendicularly to the axis of the cables 1 and 2 and of the pipe piece 5. For clarity's sake, only four securing screws 6 are illustrated in Fig. 1. In actual practice, securing screws 6 are present along the entire length of the pipe piece 5 and 5 over the circumference thereof which are advantageously constructed as shearing off screws. The pipe piece 5, for example, consists of an aluminum alloy. [022] The cables 1 and 2 have a conductor constructed as a Milliken conductor. Such a conductor is shown in Fig. 2, for example, and is denoted as conductor 3 of the cable 1. The conductor 4 of the cable 2 may be of identical construction. For simplicity's sake only the construction of the conductor 3 will be explained in the following. It consists of a plurality of wires which are stranded with each other of electrically well conducting material, for example, of copper or a copper alloy. In accordance with Fig. 2, the conductor 3, for example, is divided into three sector conductors 8, 9 and 10 which each extend over an angle of 1200 and together form a circular conductor 3. The conductor 3 may also have more than three sector conductors. For example, six sector conductors are used in accordance with conventional technology. A layer 11 of insulating material is provided between the sector conductors 8, 9 and 10, respectively. In addition, insulation constructed as a varnish layer, can be applied to the wires of the conductor 3. The conductor 3 is surrounded by a casing 12 of insulating material. Fig. 2 merely shows a few wires in the three sector conductors 8, 9 and 10. [023] In addition to throughholes each provided with a thread for receiving the securing screw 6, the pipe piece 5 has central throughholes 13 provided with threads approximately in its middle on the level of the plane 7, wherein several of the central throughholes 13 are arranged distributed over the circumference in the pipe piece 5 in the plane 7. They serve for receiving contact screws 14 illustrated in Figs. 9 and 10 which are advantageously also constructed as shearing off 6 screws. The contact screws 14 serve for electrically conductively connecting the two conductors 3 and 4. As already mentioned, they advantageously consist of copper or a copper alloy or aluminum alloy. [024] For example, the method according to the invention is carried out as follows: [025] Initially, the conductors 3 and 4 are exposed at the ends of the cables 1 and 2 by removing the casing 12. Moreover, in the pipe piece 5 which is equipped with a plurality of securing screws 6, or has a corresponding number of throughholes which are provided with a thread, central throughholes 13 also provided with a thread are arranged. For example, in the plane 7 six central throughholes 13 which are offset relative to each other in the circumferential direction are produced in the pipe piece 5. [026] Subsequently, the conductors 3 and 4 of the two cables 1 and 2 are inserted from two opposite sides into the pipe piece 5 to such an extent that they rest against each other with their end faces in the plane 7, as illustrated in Fig. 3. In this position, the conductors 3 and 4 are secured in the pipe piece 5 by tightening the securing screw 6. The conductors 3 and 4 are freed of the casing 12 only over a length required for insertion into the pipe piece 5. Further measures are not carried out on the conductors 3 and 4. This is particularly true for all insulation materials present in the conductors. [027] Subsequently, bores 15 (Fig. 7) for receiving the contact screws 14 are manufactured in the plane 7 with the central throughholes 13, wherein the bores 15 are directed radially inwardly and engage in both conductors 3 and 4. For this purpose, drill sleeves 16 are screwed into the central 7 throughholes 13 through which a drill 17 can be guided. When using the drill sleeves 16, it is ensured in a simple manner that the threads of the central throughholes 13 are not damaged when producing the bores 15. [028] The drill 17 has, because of the drill sleeves 16 screwed into the central throughholes 13, a smaller diameter than the central throughholes 13, so that the bores 15 also have a smaller diameter than the central throughholes 13. The bores 15 should also have a smaller diameter than the throughholes 13 when no drill sleeves are used when drilling the holes. [029] When the conductors 3 and 4 are correctly positioned in the pipe piece 5, in which their end faces rest against each other on the level of the central throughholes 13, the bores 15 project in the form of cylindrical half shells into the two conductors 3 and 4. The contact screws 14 screwed into the central throughholes 13 as the final step and further into the bores 15 have a diameter which corresponds to the diameter of the central throughholes 13. Consequently, during their assembly with the thread they additionally cut into the conductors 3 and 4 which increases the contact between the conductors 3 and 4 and the contact screws 14. [030] For further improving the electrically conductive connection between the two cables 1 and 2, additional throughholes provided with a thread through which additional contact screws 18 engage in the conductors 3 and 4, can be arranged in the pipe piece 5 in accordance with Fig. 11. The current can then also flow through the contact screws 18 and the pipe piece 5. [031] Where ever it is used, the word "comprising" is to be understood in its "open" sense, that is, in the sense of 8 "including", and thus not limited to its "closed" sense, that is the sense of "consisting only of". A corresponding meaning is to be attributed to the corresponding words "comprise", "comprised" and "comprises" where they appear. [032] It will be understood that the invention disclosed and defined herein extends to all alternative combinations of two or more of the individual features mentioned or evident from the text. All of these different combinations constitute various alternative aspects of the invention. [033] While particular embodiments of this invention have been described, it will be evident to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the essential characteristics thereof. The present embodiments and examples are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and all modifications which would be obvious to those skilled in the art are therefore intended to be embraced therein. 9
