Abstract
A method for assembling a housing for a high voltage electrical switch includes providing a tubular body having a top portion and a bottom portion opposite the top portion, wherein the tubular body is configured to receive a vacuum bottle assembly within the tubular body; sliding a first shed sleeve over an outside surface of the top portion without creating a permanent bond, wherein an interior surface of the first shed sleeve forms a dielectric interface between the outside surface of the top portion and the interior surface of the first shed sleeve; and sliding a second shed sleeve over an outside surface of the bottom portion without creating a permanent bond, wherein an interior surface of the second shed sleeve forms a dielectric interface between the outside surface of the bottom portion and the interior surface of the second shed sleeve.
