Abstract
A high voltage arcing horn device for safely dissipating electrical arcs caused by power surges in high voltage power lines, the device being provided with a first rigid electrode electrically connected to one of a pair of electrically isolated conductor terminals of an insulator, and a second rigid electrode electrically connected to the other of the conductor terminals, the electrodes including proximal portions fixedly clamped to the terminals and extending in predetermined spaced relationship adjacent the insulator and having distal end portions disposed in predetermined, parallel, spaced relationship one to the other.
Claims13
In combination with a high voltage power transmission line insulator which includes a pair of terminals electrically isolated and mechanically coupled one to the other with an insulator body, an improved high voltage arcing horn device comprising a first elongated electrode fixedly secured at its proximal end to one of said insulator terminals, a second elongated electrode fixedly secured at its proximal end to the other of said terminals, said first and said second electrodes extending in predetermined, spaced relationship with respect to said insulator body and each including a distal end portion disposed in predetermined parallel spaced relationship to the distal end portion of the other of said distal end portion to thereby define an electrical arcing path therebetween of predetermined dimension.
