Abstract

A lead-trough device for an electrical conductor, which structure includes an insulating body arranged for housing the electrical conductor along a central axis of the insulating body. Further, the lead-trough structure includes insulating layers and conducting layers arranged on the inside of the insulating body, which insulating layers and conducting layers are concentrically wrapped around the central axis of the body and alternatingly arranged along a transaxial direction of the insulating body. At least one conducting layer is wrapped concentrically around the central axis of the body for less than 360° such that ends of the at least one conducting layer are spaced apart.

Claims (16)

1. A lead-trough device for an electrical conductor, which structure comprises:

an insulating body arranged for housing an electrical conductor along a central axis of the insulating body,

insulating layers and conducting layers arranged on the inside of said body, which insulating layers and conducting layers are concentrically wrapped around the central axis of the body, said insulating layers and conducting layers being alternatingly arranged along a transaxial direction of said insulating body,

wherein at least one conducting layer is wrapped concentrically around the central axis of the body for less than 360° such that the two ends of said at least one conducting layer are spaced apart.

2. The lead-trough device according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating layers and conducting layers are arranged to extend along the length of said insulating body.

3. The lead-trough device according to claim 1 , said conductive layers being arranged to be formed of a material being sufficiently low in resistivity such that a resulting electric field can be controlled.

4. The lead-trough device according to claim 1 , wherein the conducting layers comprises metal foils.

5. The lead-trough device according to claim 4 , wherein said metal comprises aluminum.

6. The lead-trough device according to claim 1 , said conductive layers being arranged to be formed as coatings arranged on said insulating layers.

7. The lead-trough device according to claim 6 , said coatings comprising conductive paint arranged to be printed onto said insulating layers.

8. The lead-trough device according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating layers are resin impregnated.

9. The lead-trough device according to claim 1 , further being arranged with a test tap.

10. The lead-trough device according to claim 1 , said lead-trough device being a bushing.

11. The lead-trough device according to claim 1 , further being arranged such that a gap created between the two ends of a respective one of a number of conducting layers is aligned along a same transaxial direction of said insulating body.

12. The lead-trough device according to claim 1 , further being arranged such that a gap created between the two ends of at least one of a number of conducting layers is not aligned along a same transaxial direction of said insulating body.

13. The lead-trough device according to claim 1 , further being arranged such that at least one conducting layer is short-circuited.
