Abstract
The invention relates to the field of electrical insulators, and in particular to the field of electrical insulators for optical phase conductors (OPPCs). The electrical insulator comprises a dielectric rod (1) having at least one slot (10), a flexible optical fiber cable (2) situated in the slot (10), a dielectric material (8) filling the slot (10) and holding the cable (2) in the slot (10) without stressing it, and a dielectric covering (3) surrounding the rod (1) and presenting outwardly-directed projections (30) in the form of skirts, the entire space situated between the rod (1) and the cable (2) being filled with said dielectric filler and holding material (8).
Claims15
An electrical insulator comprising:
- a dielectric rod (1) including at least one slot (10);
- an optical fiber cable (2) situated in the slot (10);
- a dielectric material (8) filling the slot (10) and holding the cable (2) without stress in the slot (10);
- and
- a dielectric covering (3) surrounding the rod (1) and presenting outwardly-directed projections (30) in the form of skirts;
- the electrical insulator being characterized in that the cable (2) is flexible;
- and
- in that all of the space situated between the rod (1) and the cable (2) is filled with said dielectric filler and holding material (8).
