Abstract: The current diverter rings and bearing isolators serve to dissipate an electrical charge from a rotating piece of equipment to ground, such as from a motor shaft to a motor housing. One embodiment of the current diverter is substantially arc shaped with a plurality of radial channels extending there through. A conductive assembly may be positioned in each radial channel such that a contact portion of the conductive assembly is positioned adjacent a shaft passing through the center of the current diverter ring. The arc-shaped body may be particularly useful during installation over certain existing shafts.

Abstract: The current diverter rings (CDRs), captured CDRs, bearing isolators, and explosion-proof CDRs serve to dissipate an electrical charge from a rotating piece of equipment to ground, such as from a motor shaft to a motor housing. One embodiment of the explosion-proof current diverter ring includes a stator that may be mounted to the equipment housing and a rotor that may be mounted to a shaft. The rotor may rotate with the shaft may be encompassed by stator and a cap, which cap may be secured directly to the stator or the housing. A conductive assembly may be positioned in a radial channel formed in the stator such that the conductive assembly contacts the shaft to conduct electricity from the shaft to the housing. Another embodiment of an explosion-proof current diverter ring does not require a rotor. The explosion-proof current diverter ring may be configured to define a flame path to achieve various explosion-proof certifications.

Abstract: In one embodiment a conductive assembly may include a casing having a compressed portion and a cylinder. A fiber may be positioned within the casing and the relative position of the fiber with respect to the casing may be secured via engagement between the casing and the fiber at the compressed portion. The compressed portion may be configured as a plurality of alternating vertices and tables and the fiber may extend outward from the casing.
