Abstract
A high-voltage device has an encapsulation housing and at least one bushing for at least one conductor, through which a current flows, into the encapsulation housing and/or out of the encapsulation housing. At least one electrode at free potential is surrounded by the bushing. The at least one electrode at free potential increases the dielectric strength in the high-voltage device, especially in the region of the bushing.
Claims21
1-13. (canceled)
A high-voltage device, comprising:
- an encapsulation housing;
- at least one bushing for guiding at least one live conductor into said encapsulation housing and/or out of said encapsulation housing;
- and
- at least one electrode at free potential enclosed by said at least one bushing.
A method for increasing a dielectric strength in a high-voltage device, the method which comprises providing at least one electrode at free potential inside at least one bushing for a live conductor leading into an encapsulation housing of the high-voltage device and/or leading out of the encapsulation housing, wherein the at least one electrode is disposed to increase the dielectric strength relative to a bushing without an electrode at free potential.
