  • High voltage distributor
    Patent number: 3931456
    Abstract: A high voltage distributor allowing the easy connection and disconnection of a high voltage power supply to and from one or more circuits requiring the supply. The design configuration features unrestrained "pump-out," insulation of the high voltage from ground, and freedom from corona. These features are obtained by mounting a removable retaining rod on one or more insulators, thereby facilitating the support by the retaining rod of a plurality of washers. One of the washers is integrally connected to the high voltage power supply while the remaining washers are integrally connected to the circuits requiring the high voltage.
