Patent number: 4228318Abstract: A method and means are disclosed for dissipating heat in a high voltage cable termination which includes a plurality of axially stacked annular capacitor elements disposed coaxially over the prepared end of a high voltage cable and disposed within an annular insulator so that a temperature gradient normally exists radially across the capacitor elements. A thermally and electrically conductive annular disc is interposed between each adjacent pair of stacked capacitors for dissipating heat from the area inwardly of the capacitors to the area outwardly thereof. The conductive discs enable a significantly greater increase in terminator ampacity, and may be employed in both AC and DC high voltage systems.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 1978Date of Patent: October 14, 1980Assignee: G & W Electric Specialty CompanyInventor: Jorgen Selsing

Patent number: 4227035Abstract: Electrical bushing having a plurality of individual condenser modules coaxially enclosing an electrical conductor. The condenser modules are spaced apart to define a gap therebetween. Each condenser module includes a plurality of concentric, axially extending, electrically conductive layers. The axial spacing between the ends of corresponding conductive layers in adjacent, coaxial condenser modules is varied across the condenser modules in order to control the voltage gradient across the gap between the condenser modules and to provide uniform capacitance across the bushing.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 1978Date of Patent: October 7, 1980Assignee: Westinghouse Electric Corp.Inventors: Robert W. Runnels, Loren B. Wagenaar

Patent number: 4159401Abstract: A gas filled bushing is disclosed as comprising an outer grounded shield, an inner grounded shield and an intermediate potential shield mounted on the inner grounded shield by means of an axial insulator and extending between the inner grounded shield and a central conductor. In a modified embodiment a plurality of intermediate potential shields are disposed concentrically between the central conductor and the inner grounded shield so as to more efficiently control the potential distribution along the outer surface of the bushing.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 1977Date of Patent: June 26, 1979Assignee: Tokyo Shibaura Kenki K.K.Inventor: Isao Kamata

Patent number: 4123618Abstract: An improved vapor-cooled terminal-bushing is provided for increased current-carrying capacity, such as 6,000 amperes, for example, in an oil-type circuit-breaker, being provided with a "dry" body portion, utilizing resinous materials, such as epoxy-resin formulations, for example.Preferably, the body portion of resinous materials, such as epoxy resin, for example, is composite, or of a two-piece construction, having an inner first epoxy-resin formulation having improved dielectric strength, and an outer-disposed externally-located "petticoat"-type insulating second body portion, having weather-sheds, the second weather-shed annular body portion being preferably cast directly onto the inner high-dielectric-strength first epoxy-body portion, and having some flexibility for adherence purposes.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 1976Date of Patent: October 31, 1978Assignee: Westinghouse Electric Corp.Inventors: George B. Cushing, Richard E. Kothmann

Patent number: 4074193Abstract: A combined current and voltage measuring apparatus for measuring voltage and current on a rod-shaped primary conductor for conducting current at an upper potential includes a cast resin body wherein there is embedded the sensor of a current measuring unit. The case resin body is arranged in surrounding relation to the primary conductor and, in addition to carrying the sensor, it is also utilized as dielectric for the upper potential capacitor of a voltage divider which supplies the amplifier of a capacitive voltage measuring unit. Embedded in the cast resin body is a cylindrical electrode which forms with the rod-shaped primary conductor extending through the electrode the capacitor on the high-voltage side of the capacitive voltage divider. The sensor of the current measuring unit contains a winding without a ferrous core which surrounds the outside of the cylindrical electrode.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 1974Date of Patent: February 14, 1978Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventor: Werner Kohler
