Current Diverter Ring

摘要

The current diverter rings and bearing isolators serve to dissipate an electrical charge from a rotating piece of equipment to ground, such as from a motor shaft to a motor housing. One embodiment of the current diverter is substantially arc shaped with a plurality of radial channels extending there through. A conductive assembly may be positioned in each radial channel such that a contact portion of the conductive assembly is positioned adjacent a shaft passing through the center of the current diverter ring. The arc-shaped body may be particularly useful during installation over certain existing shafts.

1. A multi-ring current diverter ring comprising:
a. A plurality of bodies adjacent each other, wherein each said body of said plurality is substantially circular shaped; b. a main aperture positioned in the center of each said body; c. a plurality of radial channels, wherein each said radial channel extends from the radial exterior surface of said each said body to the radial interior surface of each said body; and, d. a conductive assembly positioned in one of said radial channels, wherein a contact portion of said conductive assembly protrudes from said radial channel radially inward past said radial interior surface.
