1. In combination, a manifold in a high voltage system comprising a plurality of fixedly spaced-apart risers, each of said risers comprising enclosure means having a generally conically-shaped outer surface open at one end, said enclosure means comprising solid insulating means having a central opening, and current-carrying coupling means disposed in said central opening including an elongated conductive member defining a pin cavity, siad elongated conductive member having a first longitudinal end portion for releasably receiving and conductively engaging s mating current-carrying coupling means of a terminating end of a high voltage cable and a second oppositely disposed, longitudinal end portion, elongated conductive means for electrically interconnecting said plurality of risers by electrically interconnecting said second longitudinal end portions of said conductive members of said coupling means of said plurality of risers. enclosing means for said elongated conductive interconnecting means formed of solid insulating material and conductive means for maintaining the outer surface of said enclosing means at a reference potential;

  • and a terminating end of a high voltage cable releasably electrically connected to one of said plurality of risers through the releasable receipt and conductive engagement of the coupling means of said terminating end by the first longitudinal end portion of said conductive member of said coupling means of said one of said plurality of risers such that the voltage applied to said one of said plurality of risers from said terminating end is also applied to each remaining one of said plurality of risers.
