Abstract
A cylindrical container for receiving an insulating or cooling medium for electrical apparatus to be tested for resistance to electrical breakdown. The medium enters and leaves the container through two valved apertures. Closure members are fluid-tightly mounted over the two ends of the container, and a pair of electrodes are arranged in the container to form a spark gap therebetween extending parallel to, or coaxially with, the longitudinal axis of the container. Each electrode is carried by a rod held in a respective closure member and a test voltage is applied to the electrodes from the outside through the electrode rods.
Claims10
A container for testing a fluid medium for resistance to electrical breakdown comprising:
- a. a tubular element having an axis and two open, axial ends;
- b. two closure elements releasably fastened to said tubular element in fluid-tight engagement and closing said open ends, an inlet aperture and an outlet aperture being formed in at least one of said elements;
- c. two valves respectively mounted in said apertures for opening and closing the same;
- d. an electrode rod mounted on each closure element, said electrode rod passing axially through the associated closure member and having respective portions in said tubular element and outside the tubular element;
- e. two electrodes mounted on respective portions of said electrode rods in said tubular element in axially spaced relationship and defining a spark gap therebetween;
- and
- f. means for applying a test voltage to said electrodes through said electrode rods, said electrodes being dimensioned for axial movement through said open ends while connected to said closure elements by said electrode rods.
