Abstract: A seal for a vacuum chamber is formed from two outer insulation blocks, an intermediate insulation block, some interior insulation sheets and some exterior insulation sheets. A first outer insulation block seals between a first wall of the vacuum chamber and a first power transmission plate A second outer insulation block seals between a second wall of the vacuum chamber and a second power transmission plate. The intermediate insulation block seals between the first and second power transmission plates. The interior insulation sheets are arranged in slots in a first side of the intermediate insulation block. The exterior insulation sheets are arranged in the slots in a second side of the intermediate insulation block.

Abstract: A capacitor header for coupling a voltage output from a capacitor, which allows the capacitor to store a large amount of charge and then discharge this as a high voltage, while reducing the risk of dielectric breakdown. The capacitor header includes a live output plate connected to a central live conductor of the capacitor and a ground output plate connected to a ground conductor of the capacitor. The capacitor header also includes first and second insulating members, which both have non-planar mating surfaces that interleave to form a non-linear path. An insulating seal is included between the non-planar mating surfaces. The capacitor header also includes two sets of insulating sheets. The sets of insulating sheets extend beyond an outer perimeter of the live output plate and the ground output plate.

Abstract: An electrical switching arrangement for an electrical power supply includes a live conductor. The live conductor includes electrodes for switching between first and second sides of the live conductor. The electrical switching arrangement also includes a ground conductor, an insulation block between the electrodes and the ground conductor, a first insulation member extending from the insulation block on the first side of the electrodes, and a second insulation member extending from the insulation block on the second side of the electrodes. The insulation block includes a first groove in which an edge of the first insulation member is located and a second groove in which an edge of the second insulation member is located.
