Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to the enclosure of electronics. Specifically, the invention relates to electrical devices that include damp barriers arranged on an electric cable adapted to be utilized at electrical bushings and as connectors.
  • Electric cables are used for energy transmission or for electronic communication. Most electrical devices as well as the electrically conducting parts of the electric cables ought to be protected from water, because water conducts electricity and may give rise to damages due to corrosion or functional atmospheric disturbances. Therefore, most electrical devices, or at least the most sensitive electronic parts of these devices, are enclosed in one way or another and the electric cables includes an enclosing insulating sheath. But even though the electrical devices are enclosed in an efficient manner in some kind of housing there is still a risk that water penetrates at the cable bushings of the housing.
  • Connectors are used to connect electric cables, especially in connection to electrical bushings for enclosed electronics.
  • connectors that are commonly used today there are openings and cavities in and around the included parts where water may find its way to the inside.
  • An object of the invention is to provide an electrical device that blocks damp penetration in and around electric cables and to provide a method that enables the possibility to produce such an electrical device. This object is achieved by means of an electrical device and a method of producing an electrical device according to the independent claims.
  • An electrical device includes an electric cable with an electrically conducting core enclosed by an insulating sheath.
  • a moulded casting is arranged around the electric cable in a section along the electric cable of a length L1 and seals against the insulating sheath in at least a first outer section of a length L3 along the electric cable.
  • the moulded casting of the insulating sheath penetrates and seals against the electrically conducting core in an inner section of a length L2 along the electric cable, wherein the electrical device 5 is damp proof along the electric cable 1.
  • the electrical device may be provided as a connector including at least one electrically conducting contact pin extending from the electrical device, which contact pin is connected to the current carrying core and partly included in the electrical device.
  • the moulded casting seals against the contact pin and thus forms a complementary damp barrier.
  • the moulded casting may further be connected to, and preferably joined with, a casing, which casing may form a part of an enclosure for the electronics.
  • a casing which casing may form a part of an enclosure for the electronics.
  • a method of producing a damp barrier including an electric cable with an electrically conducting core enclosed by an insulating sheath which method includes arranging a moulded casting around the electric cable in a section of a length L1 and bringing it to seal with respect to the insulating sheath in at least a first outer section of a length L3,L4 along the electric cable, wherein the moulded casting or the housing is arranged to penetrate and seal with respect to the electrically conducting core in an inner section of a length L2 along the electric cable, whereby the electrical device is damp proofed along the electric cable.
  • the insulating sheath is pre-treated by the application of heat and pressure around the insulating sheath in order to make the insulating sheath penetrate into the space around the core and its wires, if any, in order to seal with respect to the core in an inner section of a length L2 along the electric cable.
  • the moulded casting is arranged around the electric cable along a longer section of the electric cable including the inner section, wherein the moulded casting is brought to seal with respect to the insulating sheath.
  • the arrangement of the moulded casting under increased pressure and temperature may give rise to an additional compression of the insulating sheath around the core beyond the compression occurring during the application of heat and pressure.
  • the insulating sheath is removed at an inner section of a length L2 along the electric cable.
  • a moulded casting is arranged around the electric cable in a longer section of the electric cable including the inner section, wherein the moulded casting is brought to penetrate into the space around the core and its wires, if any, in order to seal with respect to the core and to seal with respect to the insulating sheath in a first and a second outer section of a length L3 and L4, respectively, along the electric cable, which outer sections are arranged on each side of the inner section.
  • the present invention is based on the object to prevent transport of moisture or damp by means of capillary forces, i.e. to prevent transport of moisture via small open spaces along the electric cable on the inside or the outside of the insulating sheath.
  • electrical bushings constitute a weak link in enclosed electric apparatuses. Often the transport of moisture occurs along the electric cable on the insulating sheaths outside, but may also occur along the conductive core on the inside of the insulating sheath. In particular the core consists of several wires where there is room for moisture to be transported between the wires along the electric cable.
  • a strand i.e. an electric cable
  • a conductor i.e. a current carrying core, including its insulating sheath.
  • the conductor may consist of a single filament or it may consist of several filaments, in the following denoted wires.
  • the wires may be arranged in parallel, but usually they are twisted. In order for the insulating sheath to be easily removed the wires are often lime-coated before extruding of the insulating sheath. Another option is to use a tube at the extrusion, which is arranged to house the wires.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 schematically illustrate an embodiment of an electrical device 5 according to the present invention including an electric cable 1 with an electrically conducting core 3 enclosed by an insulating sheath 2.

  • the moulded casting 4 is in contact with the insulating sheath 2 that penetrates and seals against the electrically conducting core 3.

  • the core 3 may change forms.
  • the moulded casting 4 is in direct contact with the core 3 without intermediate insulating sheath and the moulded casting 4 penetrates and seals against the current carrying core 3.
  • the seal with respect to the insulating sheath 2 in said outer section and the seal with respect to the core 3 in the inner section seals the capillary spaces where moisture could otherwise penetrate, and guarantees that the electrical device 5 is damp proof along the electric cable 1.
  • the current carrying core 3 of the electrical device 5 includes wires 3a.
  • the core 3 in the electric cable may be comprised of several wires 3a.

  • a compression of the insulating sheath 2 may occur such that the insulating sheath obtains a varying thickness. Further, the insulating sheath 2 may be damaged and the core 3 and the wires 3a, if any, may be exposed. However, the moulded casting 4 breaks in and seals against the insulating sheath and optionally the exposed core 3.
  • the core 3 in the inner section of a length L2 along the electric cable 1 is relived from the insulating sheath 2 and the moulded casting 4 fills up the space around the core 3 and between the wires 3a, if any.
