Abstract
An insulator bushing for high d-c voltage input to be used in an electric precipitator, etc. is designed to internally produce jet flows of sealing gas covering the insulator member. While ingress of dust-laden gas passing through the precipitator into the bushing is thereby prevented thus keeping the interior of the bushing clean, the necessary quantity of sealing gas to be supplied can be economically reduced.
Claims3
Insulator bushing to be mounted upright on and through the wall of a casing and containing essentially therein a high voltage conductor, into which said bushing is conducted a continuous flow of sealing gas so as to prevent dust-laden gas passing in said casing from adversely flowing into said insulator bushing, wherein the improvement comprises:
- a means for directing such sealing gas upwardly into an interior surface of said bushing;
- an insulator member disposed within said insulator bushing and substantially concentric thereto, and
- at least one narrow gap formed adjacent said insulator member through which gap said sealing gas is jetted along a first surface of the insulator member so that said first surface of the insulator member is substantially entirely covered with said sealing gas.
