The invention relates to electrical devices which include at least one pair of dissimilar metal members with respective surfaces for bringing into contact with each other or with other receptors to establish an electrical connection, and antenna-effect inhibiting means such as a ferrite composition are disposed adjacent to the connection surface of at least one of the contact members. In a form of the invention for use with single wires or a pair of multiple wires, each wire is provided with an individual antenna-effect inhibiting means, such as a ferrite housing, adjacent to a connector thereon. The invention also provides a method of making an electrical connector, having at least two electrical conduction elements of dissimilar metals, which includes steps of forming at least two dissimilar metal conductors to engage corresponding metal conductors at a junction, providing a ferrite element mounted in proximity to at least one connector near said junction and providing means to measure and display the current passing said junction. In a further method in accordance with the invention, operating an electrical circuit comprises providing at least two conductors of dissimilar metals, providing a ferrite element near at least one of those conductors of dissimilar metals at a junction with a conductor of the metal, passing an electric current through the at least two conductors, and measuring that current.
In an electrical device which includes at least one pair of external conductors of dissimilar metals and at least one pair of dissimilar metal contact members for establishing an electrical connection;
In an electrical device which includes two external conductors of dissimilar metals and two discrete contact members of dissimilar metals for establishing an electrical connection;
In a connector for a wire comprising a hollow body of ferrite material having an entry for the wire, a terminal on said body, improvement comprising a signal actuated means connected between said wire and said terminal, said signal actuated means and its respective connections to said wire and to said terminal being housed wholly within the hollow ferrite body.
In a connector, for a plurality of wires, comprising a hollow body of ferrite material, a respective terminal on said body for each wire, the improvement comprising a signal actuated means connected between each wire and its respective terminal, said signal actuated means and its respective connections to said wires and to said terminals being housed wholly within the hollow ferrite body.
In a thermocouple connector comprising a hollow body of ferrite material, a pair of thermocouple wires which enter said body, a pair of terminals on said body respectively for each of said wires, the improvement comprising a signal actuated means connected between each wire and its respective terminal, said signal actuated means and its respective connections to said wires and to said terminals being housed wholly within the hollow ferrite body.
