Abstract
An insulator for a bus connector arrangement including a first layer defining at least one first aperture, a first annular protrusion emanating from the first layer at one first aperture, a second layer defining at least one second aperture configured to align with each of the at least one first apertures, and at least one second annular protrusion emanating from the second layer at each of the at least one second apertures.
Claims16
An insulator for a bus connector arrangement comprising:
- a first layer defining at least one aperture;
- a first protrusion emanating from at least one of the at the at least one aperture of the first layer;
- a second layer defining at least one aperture configured to align with each of the at least one apertures of the first layer;
- at least one second protrusion emanating from the second layer at each of the at least one apertures of the second layer;
- and
- wherein the first layer, the annular protrusion thereof, the second layer, and the annular protrusions thereof define a tortuous path therebetween sized to ensure safe dielectric spacing at voltages and altitudes that the bus connector arrangement is configured to operate at.
An insulator for a bus connector arrangement comprising:
- a first layer defining at least one aperture;
- a first protrusion emanating from at least one of the at the at least one aperture of the first layer;
- a second layer defining at least one aperture configured to align with each of the at least one apertures of the first layer;
- at least one second protrusion emanating from the second layer at each of the at least one apertures of the second layer;
- a first laminated bus structure including at least one aperture corresponding to the at least one aperture of the first insulator layer;
- a second laminated bus structure positioned opposite the first laminated bus structure including at least one aperture corresponding to the at least one aperture of the first laminated bus structure;
- and
- a bushing seated within each aperture of the first laminated bus structure and each aperture of the second bus structure.
An insulator for a bus connector arrangement comprising:
- a first layer defining at least one aperture;
- a first protrusion emanating from at least one of the at the at least one aperture of the first layer;
- a second layer defining at least one aperture configured to align with each of the at least one apertures of the first layer;
- at least one second protrusion emanating from the second layer at each of the at least one apertures of the second layer;
- and
- an uninterrupted gap between the first layer and the second layer.
An insulator for a bus connector arrangement comprising:
- a first layer defining at least one aperture;
- a first protrusion emanating from at least one of the at the at least one aperture of the first layer;
- a second layer defining at least one aperture configured to align with each of the at least one apertures of the first layer;
- and
- at least one second protrusion emanating from the second layer at each of the at least one apertures of the second layer, wherein the at least one protrusion of the first layer of the insulator surrounds at the least one protrusion of the second layer.
An insulator for a bus connector arrangement comprising:
- a first layer defining at least one aperture;
- a first protrusion emanating from at least one of the at the at least one aperture of the first layer;
- a second layer defining at least one aperture configured to align with each of the at least one apertures of the first layer;
