Offset constant thickness web for insulator support disk

摘要

The support insulator for a flexible gas-insulated transmission line is formed in two halves which can be snapped together and over the central conductor of the transmission line. The insulator halves each contain a central hub region and an outer rim region which are connected to one another by a thin connecting web of uniform thickness. The thin connecting web has axially offset regions which are connected to one another by axially extending side regions. Each of the axially offset regions has a generally pie or wedge shape and substantially increase the stiffness modulus of the insulator structure.
