Why does high voltage feedthrough have a ceramic insulation. What would happen without that insulation?
Why is it shaped like conical like a tree?
Why is it shaped like conical like a tree?
A high voltage feedthrough is a specialized component used in high voltage systems to transfer electrical signals from inside a sealed container to the outside without compromising the integrity of the seal.
A high voltage feedthrough typically consists of a conductor, insulator, and terminal. The conductor carries the electrical signal while the insulator prevents it from escaping the container. The terminal allows for connection to the outside circuit.
High voltage feedthroughs are commonly used in vacuum systems, particle accelerators, X-ray equipment, and other high voltage applications where a hermetic seal is required to maintain a controlled environment.
The key factors to consider when selecting a high voltage feedthrough include the voltage rating, current capacity, insulation material, and sealing method. It is important to choose a feedthrough that can handle the specific requirements of the application.
Regular maintenance and testing of high voltage feedthroughs is essential to ensure their proper functioning. This can include visual inspections, electrical testing, and cleaning. It is important to follow manufacturer guidelines and safety protocols when performing maintenance and testing.
