Abstract
A current lead-through for providing an electrically conductive path between an interior of a vessel and the exterior of the vessel. The electrically conductive path is electrically isolated from the material of the vessel. The current lead-through comprises an electrically conductive pin surrounded by an electrically isolating sealing material, and retained within a tubular carrier body by the sealing material, the electrically conductive pin being exposed at each end of the tubular carrier body to enable electrical connection thereto.
Claims8
A vessel having a current lead-through that provides an electrically conductive path between an interior of the vessel and an exterior of the vessel;
- wherein:
- said electrically conductive path is electrically isolated from material of the vessel;
- the current lead-through comprises an electrically conductive pin that is surrounded by an electrically isolating sealing material, and is retained within a tubular carrier body by the sealing material;
- the electrically conductive pin is exposed at each end of the tubular carrier body to enable electrical connection;
- the tubular carrier body traverses a wall of the vessel, and is sealed and attached to the wall of the vessel;
- and
- the vessel is provided with a port having a first end sealed and attached to the wall of the vessel, and having a second end sealed and attached to the tubular carrier body of the current lead through.
