ABSTRACT A cable termination connector assembly for physically receiving and securely retaining the bared end of a current carrying center conductor of a high voltage power cable and for making an external electrical con- nection to the center conductor includes a multi-barrel connector for use with many different sizes of high voltage power cables. A plurality of elongated, generally axially extending apertures are formed in the connector for receiving the wire strands of a segmented or nonsegmented center conductor of a high voltage power cable. In a specific embodiment, the apertures are canted or inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the center conductor and the multi-barrel connector to minimize the length of cable insulation that is cut away or stripped back and thereby increase the dielectric strength or reduce the size of the termination assembly and facilitate insertion of the wire strands. A plurality of oval point set screws associated with each of the apertures of the connector securely retains the wire strands within the connector and breaks-up aluminum oxide coatings existing on the wire strands of aluminum cable conductors. In a specific embodiment, each plurality of set screws are arranged so that each is at a different radial position with respect to the longitudinal axis of the associated aperture to provide improved current distribution with the multi-barrel connector and to achieve contact with a greater number of individual wire strands in each aperture.
