Abstract
The invention relates to a device for preventing the establishment of an electric arc between two adjacent parts, which have no electrical insulation, of at least two electrically conductive elements, comprising at least one piece made of a dielectric material, said device having at least one through-opening for receiving at least one of said at least two electrically conductive elements so as to surround at least one of said at least two adjacent parts, which have no electrical insulation, of said at least two electrically conductive elements.
Claims20
Electrical component comprising
- a body made of dielectric material having at least two electrically conductive adjacent protruding sockets, and
- at least two electrically conductive wires which have two adjacent parts having no electrical insulation, the two adjacent parts being electrically connected and secured within two adjacent sockets, and each having extending therefrom a part with no electrical insulation, each socket securing therein the part with no electrical insulation extending from one of the at least two electrically insulated, electrically conductive wires, and
- a device, for preventing the establishment of an electric arc between the two adjacent parts, having at least one piece which is made of a dielectric material and has at least one through-opening for receiving at least one of the two electrically conductive wires, so as to surround at least one of the two adjacent parts, which have no electrical insulation, wherein said dielectric material from which said piece is made is elastically deformable or compressible,
- and the piece totally covers the at least one adjacent socket and the at least one adjacent part which has no electrical insulation.

An electrical component comprising
- a) a dielectric body having protruding therefrom at least two adjacent, electrically conductive sockets,
- b) at least two electrically conductive wires each covered with electrical insulation and each having extending therefrom a part without the electrical insulation,
- each of the adjacent sockets holding therein the part without the electrical insulation extending from one of the at least two electrically conductive wires, and
- c) a device, for preventing an electric arc between the held parts without the electrical insulation, having at least one piece made of elastically deformable or compressible dielectric material, the at least one piece having at least one through-opening receiving one of the electrically conductive wires and the held part without electrical insulation extending therefrom, such that the elastically deformable or compressible dielectric material totally covers the part without electrical insulation and the socket holding the part therein.
