Abstract

A configuration for a power supply of a component in an exhaust gas system includes at least one electrical contact disposed at an exhaust gas line. The at least one electrical contact is surrounded by an electrical insulation material.

Claims (10)

1. A configuration for a power supply of a component in an exhaust gas system having an exhaust gas line, the configuration comprising:

at least one electrical contact disposed at the exhaust gas line, said at least one electrical contact including at least one electrode, and said at least one electrical contact extending through the exhaust gas line and forming a feedthrough; and

a ceramic electrical insulation surrounding at least said electrical contact and said feedthrough, said ceramic electrical insulation being dimensioned and configured for being puncture proof at voltages on said feedthrough above 1 kV;

said at least one electrical contact and said feedthrough being cast in said electrical insulation and said electrical contact being led through said electrical insulation;

a particle precipitator disposed in the exhaust gas line, said at least one electrode generating an electrical field between said at least one electrode and said particle precipitator.

2. The configuration according to claim 1 , wherein said electrical insulation at least partially surrounds an external wall of the exhaust gas line.

3. The configuration according to claim 1 , wherein said feedthrough is formed with a ceramic tube.

4. The configuration according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one electrode is disposed inside the exhaust gas line upstream of said particle precipitator with respect to a flow direction of exhaust gas through the exhaust gas line.

5. The configuration according to claim 1 , wherein said ceramic electrical insulation is dimensioned and configured to be puncture proof at voltages on said feedthrough in a range of 2 kV to 50 kV.

6. The configuration according to claim 1 , wherein said electrical insulation defines an annular section around an external wall of the exhaust gas line adjacent the electric field.
