CATALYTIC CONVERTER DEVICE

摘要

A catalytic converter is obtained that can suppress deterioration in insulating ability between electrode members that is caused by moisture within exhaust. Insulating layers (34) are provided at peripheries of electrode rods (32) that are for energizing a catalyst carrier (14), and the electrode rods (32) are insulated from a case tube (28). The catalyst carrier (14) is structured of a material whose temperature rises due to application of voltage. Temperatures of the insulating layers (34) are raised by applying voltage from a power supply (48) to the catalyst carrier (14).
