  • Methods and apparatus for ignition lead assembly connections
    Patent number: 6483022
    Abstract: An ignition lead assembly that includes a seal sub-assembly that permits the ignition lead assembly to be pressurized, thus facilitating a reduction in the formation of corona within the ignition lead assembly. The ignition lead assembly also includes an ignition cable housed within a conduit and attached at each end to a connector. The ignition cable also includes a plurality of wires encased within permeable electrical insulation. The conduit also includes an air-cooled portion and a non-air-cooled portion connected together with a coupling assembly. The seal sub-assembly prevents air pressure from decreasing within the pressurized ignition lead assembly.
