Kita [5 7] ABSTRACT The disclosure relates to apparatus for terminating the ends of wires having high voltages applied thereto to prevent corona discharge. This is accomplished by providing an enclosure of insulating material capable of withstanding all voltages which will be applied to the wire, the enclosure being filled with a fluid having high insulating properties and capable of conforming to all irregularities in the enclosure, wire and wire insulation. The enclosure has a threaded opening for receiving an O-ring, washers and a threaded cap, the cap being completely closed for storage and being replaced by a cap having an aperture sized for a particular wire which passes therethrough and, upon closure of the cap, makes a sealing fit with the then compressed O-ring. The enclosure may have a flange thereon for receiving bolts or the like therethrough to anchor the enclosure to a base.
6 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures PATENTEL DEE 9 4 sum 10E 2 PATENTEL DEC 74 saw 20F 2" HIGH VOLTAGE CORONA-FREE WIRE TERMINATION This invention relates to a corona-free termination for wires having high voltages impressed thereon and, more specifically, to such wires which would be normally unconnected to external apparatus during testing procedures and the like.
It is well known in the art that wire and especially stranded wire which has high voltages thereon will exhibit corona discharge when unconnected to external apparatus. This problem exists in industry, for example, when a high voltage power supply is to undergo test. Such power supplies must be tested under corona-free conditions. Connection of such power supplies to external apparatus to perform such tests often presents problems either due to the unavailability of such external apparatus in the test laboratory or due to the high cost of such external apparatus relative to the power supply which precludes its use due to the possibility of damage to such external apparatus from a faulty power supply. It is readily apparent that failure to connect the power supply to external apparatus results in hanging high voltage wires which, under test, will exhibit the undesirable corona discharge. To date, the prior art has failed to solve this problem in a simple and relatively inexpensive manner.
In accordance with the present invention, the above noted problems of the prior art are-overcome and there is provided an apparatus capable of inexpensively terminating high voltage wires to prevent corona discharge during testing procedures. This .is accomplished by providing an enclosure of insulating material capable of withstanding all voltages which will be applied to the wire, the enclosure being filled with a fluid having high insulating properties and capable of conforming to all irregularities in the enclosure, wire and wire insulation. The enclosure has a threaded opening for receiving an O-ring, washers and a threaded cap, the cap being'completely closed for storage and being replaced by a cap having. an aperture sized for a particular wire which passes therethrough and, upon closure of the cap, makes a sealing fit with the then compressed O- ring.,Theenclosure may have a flange thereon for receiving bolts or the like therethrough to anchor the enclosure to a base. I 1
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a relatively inexpensive termination for unconnectedhigh voltage wires.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a termination for a wire having high voltage impressed thereon which is easily placed onto the wire.
It is a yet further object of this invention to provide a termination for a high voltage-wire wherein the wire in encased in a highly insulating liquid enclosed in a highly insulating enclosure.
.The above objects and still further objects of the invention will become immediately apparent to those skilled in the art after consideration of the-following preferred embodiment thereof, which is provided by way of example and not by way of limitation, wherein:
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of the termination in accordance with the present invention with the particular cap-used for storage;
FIG. 2 is a cross-section taken along the line 2--2 of FIG. .1; and
FIG. 3 is a cross-section of the termination in accordance with the present invention with the particular cap used during wire terminationa.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown an exploded view of the termination. The termination includes an enclosure portion 3 in the form of a cylinder or bottle having threads 5 therein for mating with the threads 6 of a top member 1. The top member 1 along with the enclosure portion 3 form the complete enclosure. The top member 1 includes an aperture 8 extending therethrough and a threaded portion surrounding the aperture 8. The top portion 1 is required as a separate unit to provide for different size wires, the aperture 8 being sized to provide a clearance fit with the insulation passing therethrough. The enclosure portion 3 and top member 1 are formed from an insulating material which is capable of withstanding any voltage which would be expected to be impressed upon a wire positioned therein. The members 1 and 3 can be formed, for example, from a molded glass epoxy. The enclosure portion 3 also includes a flange 10 having apertures 12 therein through which a bolt (not shown) or other anchoring device can pass to'anchor the enclosure to a base member.
The enclosure is filled with a liquid 14 up to a liquid level 15 as shown in FIG. 2. The liquid 4 must have good insulating properties at high voltages and be capable of conforming to a totally irregular shape and exclude all air. In this case the liquid 14 must conform to,
the interior shape of the enclosure as well as the exterior shape of all wire strands and the insulation thereon to eliminate all air in the region. Suitable fluids 14 have 3 been found to be liquid fluorocarbons, one known as O-ring 9 and a cap13 having threads. 17 and finger grips l8 is'positioned over the O-ring 9 and washers l1 and is threaded onto the threads 7 of top portion 1. The
cap 13 shown in FIGS. 1' and 2 has a continuous upper surface and is therefore used for storage of the termination when not in use. When the termination is to be used, a cap 13' is substituted for the cap 13, the only difference being an aperture 19 in the cap which is sized to the diameter of the wire insulation as shown in FIG. 3 to provide a clearance fit.
Referring againto FIG. 3, there is shown a terminated wire 20 in the termination of the present invention. The character references refer to the parts listed above and an apertured cap 13' sized to the insulation of wire is passed below the O-ring 9 so that the wire end is positioned in the liquid 14. The cap 13' is then threaded onto the threads 7 to force the washers 11 against the O-ring 9 and deform the O-ring to provide a seal between the cap 13, the washers 11, the wire 20 and the top 16 of portion 1. The washers 1] reduce friction between the cap and the O-ring. Due to the siz-' ing of aperture 8 to the diameter of theinsulationof all such variations and modifications.
wire 20, wire 20 makes a clearance fit with aperture 8 and thereby forces air out of the fenclostire. Due to the sizing of aperture 8, the wire 20 ispositioned at the center of the fluid 14. The wire is tightly positioned within the enclosure due to the frictional force applied thereto by O -rin g 9. Therefore a great deal of force is required to remove the wire 20 from the enclosure. If properly assembled, the enclosure can therefore hang from the end of wire 20 though it is preferred that the enclosure be anchored via flange 10 and apertures 12 as discussed above.
It can be seen that there has been provided a relatively inexpensive and simple high voltage termination which is easily installed and reusable.
Though the invention has been described with re- 15 spect to a specific preferred embodiment thereof, many intention that the appended claims be interpreted'asv broadly aspossible in view of the prior art to include What is claimed is: 1. An electrical conductor subjected to a high voltage having a termination comprising, i
