A high voltage swivel including an inner and an outer body, each body having at least a first and a second ring-shaped conductor element, the conductor elements including two spaced-apart end faces and a curved contact surface, the elements being mutually interconnected at opposing end faces via insulating members at axially spaced-apart positions, the inner and outer bodies being coaxial around a longitudinal axis, the contact surface of each inner conductor element being adjacent to and in electrical contact with an opposed contact surface of a corresponding outer conductor element, the inner and outer bodies being rotatable relative to one another around the longitudinal axis, each conductor element of the inner and outer body connected to a voltage line extending to an input terminal or an output terminal, the insulator members interconnecting the conductor elements situated at a mutual distance in the circumferential direction of the conductor element, the interconnected conductor elements of the inner and the outer body each being supported by a respective support member to form integral units such that the inner and outer bodies are adapted to be mutually decoupled or attached by relative displacement of the integral units in the direction of the longitudinal axis.
High voltage swivel (1) comprising:
High voltage swivel (1) comprising an inner and an outer body (2,3,50,8), each body having at least a first and a second ring-shaped conductor element (7,8,9,10;7′,8′,9′10′), the conductor elements comprising two spaced-apart end faces (45,46,45′,46′) and a curved contact surface (48,48′), the elements being mutually interconnected at opposing end faces via insulating members (15,15′,16,16′,17,17′,18,18′,19,19′) at axially spaced-apart positions, the inner and outer bodies being coaxial around a longitudinal axis (4,100), the contact surface (48) of each inner conductor element (7) being adjacent to and in electrical contact with an opposed contact surface of a corresponding outer conductor element (7′), the inner and outer bodies being rotatable (2,3,50,80), relative to one another around the longitudinal axis (4,100), wherein each conductor element of the inner and outer body is connected to a voltage line (31,36) extending to an input terminal (33,38) or to an output terminal (33,38), characterised in that the inner and the outer body are attached to a top cover (132) and bottom cover (125), respectively, which covers are interconnected via a cylindrical wall (126), one of the covers being rotatable relative to the cylindrical wall around the longitudinal axis (23), an outer cylindrical wall (127) surrounding the first wall, which first wall is provided with apertures (134) and seals (28) that are adapted to open the apertures when a predetermined pressure on the seal is exceeded.
High voltage swivel (1) comprising an inner and an outer body (2,3,50,8), each body having at least a first and a second ring-shaped conductor element (7,8,9,10;7′,8′,9′10′), the conductor elements comprising two spaced-apart end faces (45,46,45′,46′) and a curved contact surface (48,48′), the elements being mutually interconnected at opposing end faces via insulating members (15,15′,16,16′,17,17′,18,18′,19,19′) at axially spaced-apart positions, the inner and outer bodies being coaxial around a longitudinal axis (4,100), the contact surface (48) of each inner conductor element (7) being adjacent to and in electrical contact with an opposed contact surface of a corresponding outer conductor element (7′), the inner and outer bodies being rotatable (2,3,50,80), relative to one another around the longitudinal axis (4,100), wherein each conductor element of the inner and outer body is connected to a voltage line (31,36) extending to an input terminal (33,38) or to an output terminal (33,38), characterised in that springs plates (152, 153) are fixed to the conductor element (140) at the contact surface of the inner or outer conductor element (140), arranged side by side, a length direction (L) of the spring plates extending in the circumferential direction of the conductor element (140).
