Abstract: A dehumidifying and cooling apparatus for keeping the inside of a box containing an electric apparatus at a predetermined temperature and low humidity is provided. The apparatus comprises an electronic cooling element fixed to a heated end of a heat pipe extending through the box, the electronic cooling element and a cooling portion being respectively located inside the box, and a radiating portion being located outside the box, the cooling portion being located inside a vertical vent guide provided within the box, so that the dehumidifying and cooling apparatus can be compact and capable of dehumidifying and cooling the inside of the box efficiently.

Abstract: The electric device according to the present invention has as its constituents the insulating materials and elements comprising films of synthetic resin, for instance, polypropylene, impregnated with 1-phenyl-2-ethylphenylethane and/or 1-phenyl-2-isopropylphenylethane.According to the present invention, insulating oils having favorable compatibility with the film of synthetic resin such as polypropylene and favorable affinity to metals and having low viscosity have been provided, and in addition, electric devices excellent in properties of withstanding a high voltage and dielectric properties in a broad range of temperature from a low temperature to a high temperature have also been offered.

Abstract: Apparatus for a wire spray coating method including a capacitor connected with an electric power source to be charged thereby. A gap switch having discharge electrodes which are spaced apart from each other so that a discharge is produced under a voltage applied by the capacitor. Wire receiving terminals which are spaced apart to receive a length of wire of coating material therebetween, the terminals being connected with the capacitor so that the charge of the capacitor is applied to the terminals through the switch. The discharge electrodes being maintained at a fixed distance so that a discharge across the electrodes is readily produced when the electrodes are supplied with the voltage from the capacitor.

Abstract: An insulating oil for use in electrical devices, comprising a mixture of trixylenylphosphate and 10% to 40% by volume of insulating oil having a viscosity of 5 cp to 15 cp at 30.degree.C and selected from the group consisting of mineral oil, alkylbenzene, alkylnaphthalene, diallylalkane, 2-diphenylmethylether, 2-diphenyl-isopropylether, paraffin hydrocarbon oil and naphthene hydrocarbon oil.

Abstract: A crowbar switch having a start and a crowbar gap each having a trigger electrode therein. The two gaps are disposed close to each other so that the photons and thermoelectrons emitted from the arc produced by a discharge in the start gap ionize the ambient gas about the crowbar gap for easier occurrence of a discharge in the crowbar gap.

Abstract: An oil-filled electrical device comprising a casing, an electrical device element in the casing and an insulating oil consisting essentially of one or more 2-diphenylalkylether having the structural formula of ##SPC1##Wherein R is the alkyl group expressed as C.sub.n H.sub.2n.sub.+1 wherein R is 1.ltoreq.n423.8.
