Flexible electrical isolation device

摘要

An electrical isolator includes a flexible non-electrically conductive membrane and an inelastic flexible dielectric member journalled in the membrane and extending from the first end of the membrane to the second end of the membrane. First and second coupling members are anchored to the ends of the dielectric member. The ends of the membrane are mated in sealed engagement with the coupling members so that the coupling members fluidically seal the ends of the membrane and fluidically seal the dielectric member within the membrane. The membrane is filled with a dielectric fluid so as to displace any air in the membrane and the dielectric member. The coupling members are adapted to couple to objects at opposite ends of the electrical isolator.

1. An apparatus for electrically isolating a power line conductor or static wire from a pulling line comprising:
a. a flexible non-electrically conductive tube having first and second opposite ends, b. an inelastic flexible dielectric member having first and second opposite ends, said dielectric member journalled in said tube and extending from said first end of said tube to said second end of said tube, c. first and second coupling members anchored, respectively, to said first and second ends of said dielectric member, said first and second ends of said tube mated in sealed engagement with said first and second coupling members so that said first and second coupling members fluidically seal said first and second ends of said tube and fluidically seal said dielectric member within said tube, d. said tube filled with a dielectric fluid so as to displace any air in said tube and said dielectric member, e. said first and second coupling members adapted to releasably couple to the power line conductor or static wire and the pulling line respectively.
