Electrical induction device with contact arrangement for electrically contacting an electrical conductor
An electrical induction device includes a housing and a contact arrangement in the housing of the electrical induction device for electrically contacting an electrical conductor. The contact arrangement includes a conductor tube, a receiver contact which is fastened to the conductor tube and configured to receive and electrically connect with the electrical conductor, and a resilient suspension arrangement fastened to the housing and connected to an outside of the conductor tube such that the receiver contact is resiliently movable in a plane which is parallel to a cross section of the conductor tube while being substantially immovable in an axial direction of the conductor tube.
1. An electrical induction device comprising:
a housing; and
a contact arrangement in the housing of the electrical induction device for electrically contacting an electrical conductor, the contact arrangement comprising:
a conductor tube;
a receiver contact which is fastened to the conductor tube and configured to receive and electrically connect with the electrical conductor; and
a resilient suspension arrangement fastened to the housing and connected to an outside of the conductor tube such that the receiver contact is resiliently movable in a plane which is parallel to a cross section of the conductor tube while being substantially immovable in an axial direction of the conductor tube.
2. The electrical induction device of claim 1 , wherein the receiver contact is annular and fastened to an inside or an end of the conductor tube.
3. The electrical induction device of claim 1 , wherein the resilient suspension arrangement is intermittently or continuously connected to the outside of the conductor tube around a circumference of the conductor tube.
4. The electrical induction device of claim 3 , wherein the resilient suspension arrangement is connected to the outside of the conductor tube via a ring encircling the outside of the conductor tube in a radial plane of the conductor tube.
5. The electrical induction device of claim 1 , wherein the receiver contact is resiliently movable a maximum distance from a resting position in the parallel plane which is within a range of from 10 mm to 30 mm.
6. The electrical induction device of claim 1 , wherein the housing is filled with an electrically insulating fluid.
7. The electrical induction device of claim 6 , wherein the electrically insulated fluid is a liquid.
8. The electrical induction device of claim 1 , wherein the electrical induction device is or comprises a transformer or a reactor.
9. An induction device arrangement comprising:
the electrical induction device of claim 1 ; and
the electrical conductor;
wherein the contact arrangement is electrically contacting the electrical conductor.
10. The induction device arrangement of claim 9 , further comprising any one of: a bushing, a cable ending or a surge arrester, in which the electrical conductor is comprised.
11. An electrical connection comprising:
the electrical conductor; and
the contact arrangement of claim 1 electrically contacting the electrical conductor.
12. The electrical connection of claim 11 , wherein a proximal end of the electrical conductor is tapered or rounded.
