CURRENT LEAD-IN Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering. SUBSTANCE: current lead-in has insulating body built up of external part 1 and internal part 2 located in steam-water medium which pass input conductor 3 and output conductor 4. Internal part 2 of insulating body has closed space 5 accommodating heating element 6. High-voltage source is connected to input conductor 3 and load, to output conductor 4. Internal part 2 of insulating body is placed in dielectric shell 7 spaced from surface of conductor 4 at distance depending on breakdown distance for steam-water medium. EFFECT: improved design. 2 cl, 1 dwg
