Abstract

An insulator for high-voltage applications has a rotationally symmetrical hollow tube made from fiberglass-reinforced epoxy resin; a silicone shielding attached to a periphery of the hollow tube; a base flange at a lower end of the hollow tube; a retainer, which is configured to retain an electrical operator, at an upper end of the hollow tube; and a plug, which is arranged inside the hollow tube and closes the front side of the upper end of the hollow tube and seals the hollow tube from the outside. The retainer has a rotationally symmetrical connection region. The insulator further has at the upper end of the hollow tube, a radially circumferential joining region which has no silicone shielding. The retainer is connectable to the insulator in such a way that the connection region of the retainer surrounds the joining region of the insulator in a form-fitting fashion.

Claims (22)

1. An insulator for high-voltage applications, the insulator comprising:

a rotationally symmetrical hollow tube made from fiberglass-reinforced epoxy resin;

a silicone shielding attached to a periphery of the hollow tube;

a base flange at a lower end of the hollow tube;

a retainer, which is configured to retain an electrical operator, at an upper end of the hollow tube; and

a plug, which is arranged inside the hollow tube and closes the front side of the upper end of the hollow tube and seals the hollow tube from the outside,

wherein the retainer has a rotationally symmetrical connection region,

wherein the insulator further comprises at the upper end of the hollow tube, a radially circumferential joining region which has no silicone shielding, and

wherein the retainer is connectable to the insulator in such a way that the connection region of the retainer surrounds the joining region of the insulator in a form-fitting fashion.

2. The insulator as claimed claim 1 , wherein:

the plug, the hollow tube and the retainer each have at least one transverse bore which are oriented coaxially with one another; and

the insulator is configured such that a safety bolt is pushable into the, in each case, at least one transverse bore and is fixable therein.

3. The insulator as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

the form-fitting connection between the retainer and the insulator is designed as a conical connection.

4. The insulator as claimed in claim 1 , wherein;

the plug and the retainer are made from a non-metallic material.

5. The insulator as claimed in claim 1 , wherein;

the retainer has means a fastener for fastening at least one busbar.

6. The insulator as claimed in claim 1 , wherein;

the retainer has means-a fastener for fastening at least one reactor.

7. The insulator as claimed in claim 1 , wherein;

the retainer forms the lower end of a hollow tube of a further insulator.
