Electrical insulator with water-repellent oil-bleeding insulation bands

摘要

An electrical insulator for use in dirty or wet environments. The insulator has a substantially cylindrical outer peripheral surface upon which is disposed a plurality of water-repellent oil-bleeding insulation bonds formed of a silicone rubber containing a water-repellent silicone oil. The bands are fitted onto the insulator surface so that they extend perpendicular, parallel or oblique to the longitudinal axis of the insulator. The bands each may be in the form of a hollow belt with a clamp band passing through the interior thereof for clamping the belt to the outer peripheral surface of the insulator.
