  • High voltage test terminal with guard electrode and guard insulation layer
    Patent number: 11320458
    Abstract: A high-voltage test terminal includes a first conductor, a second conductor, and a primary insulator disposed between and coupled to the first and second conductors. A blade is movably connected to the second conductor. The blade is electrically and mechanically connected to the first conductor in a first position and electrically isolated and mechanically disconnected from the first conductor in a second position. A guard insulation layer is disposed between the primary insulator and the first conductor.
    Type: Grant

  • Electric bushings having insulation medium retention seals
    Patent number: 10304595
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing electrical bushings for maintaining a seal during severe incidents are provided. The bushings provide for relatively large gap formations and seal spacings by using one or more self-modulating seals. In certain configurations, the bushings provide for relatively large gap formations and seal spacings by using a wider or narrow top portion adjacent to a relatively narrower middle portion. The systems and methods can be also applied to other apparatus when deemed proper.
