Abstract
A current interrupter assembly includes an insulating structure, a current interrupter embedded in the structure, a conductor element embedded in the structure, a current interchange embedded in the structure and connected to create a current path between the current interrupter and the conductor element, and a semiconductive layer covering at least a portion of the conductor element so as to reduce voltage discharge between the conductor element and the structure.

1-45. (canceled)
A current interrupter assembly comprising:
- a molded unitary insulating structure;
- a cavity;
- a current interrupter embedded in the molded structure;
- a conductor element embedded in the molded structure;
- a current interchange embedded in the molded structure and connected to create a current path between the current interrupter and the conductor element;
- and
- a conductive shield embedded in the molded structure, positioned in a semiconductive layer, and configured to decrease voltage discharges in a cavity in the structure,
- wherein the semiconductive layer is at least partially embedded in the molded structure.
