  • Patent number: 11870180
    Abstract: An electric plug-in device, which is suitable for plugging into an electric receiving device, has an inner conductor and an insulating body that encloses the inner conductor. The plug-in device includes a retaining element which can be firmly connected indirectly, in particular with the help of a housing wall, or directly to the receiving device; a sliding element which can be moved axially along a longitudinal axis of the inner conductor relative to the retaining element includes the internal conductor and the insulating body. When the plug-in device is plugged into the receiving device, the sliding element protrudes into a receiving portion of the receiving device. A spring device exerts an axially active spring force on the sliding element in the direction of the receiving device when the plug-in device is plugged into the receiving device.

  • Patent number: 9887026
    Abstract: A high-voltage bushing includes an insulating body disposed concentrically around a cylindrical winding support formed of electrically conductive material, and a sealing device for sealing a gap between the winding support and the insulating body. The sealing device includes a sealing element disposed in a circumferential sealing groove. The circumferential sealing groove is disposed in the winding support and accommodates the sealing element. A method for producing a high-voltage bushing includes placing an insulating body concentrically around a cylindrical winding support formed of electrically conductive material. The insulating body has mutually concentrically disposed insulating layers. A sealing element is introduced into a circumferential sealing groove in the winding support, and the insulating body is subsequently impregnated with a resin to seal a gap between the winding support and the insulating body.
