Abstract

The invention relates to a line bushing ( 1 ) in a housing ( 2 ) of an electrical machine ( 1 ) in explosive atmospheres, having a threaded bush ( 100 ) and a terminal stud ( 200 ), wherein the threaded bush ( 100 ) is an insulator and is located in, particularly screwed into, a recess in the housing ( 2 ), wherein the terminal stud ( 200 ) is made from an electrically conductive material and is provided, at least in sections, with a thread, wherein connection options ( 206 ) for lines and braids are provided at either end of the terminal stud ( 200 ), wherein the terminal stud ( 200 ) can be screwed into the threaded bush ( 100 ).

Claims (7)

1. A dynamo-electric machine for explosive environments, comprising:

a housing having a threaded recess; and

a line bushing made from an electrically conductive material and having a threaded portion and a stop shoulder and opposite ends, each of the opposite ends having a connection option for a line or braid,

a threaded bush configured as an insulator and having a shoulder and an external thread with a first thread length for threaded engagement with the threaded recess of the housing, said shoulder and external thread defining a first ignition gap when the threaded bush is screwed into the threaded recess of the housing, and

an internal thread with a second thread length for threaded engagement with the threaded portion of a terminal stud, with the second thread length being greater than the first thread length, said stop shoulder in conjunction with the second thread length defining a second ignition gap when the terminal stud is screwed into the threaded bush.

2. The dynamo-electric machine of claim 1 , wherein the threaded bush has a thread height and the terminal stud has a thread height which is identical to the thread height of the threaded bush.

3. The dynamo-electric machine of claim 1 , wherein the line is embodied as an energy supply line, a sensor line, or a data line.
