Abstract
A gas-insulated transmission line including an outer sheath, an inner conductor within the outer sheath, an insulating gas disposed within the outer sheath for electrically insulating the inner conductor from the outer sheath, and insulating supports for supporting the inner conductor within the outer sheath. A particle trap is utilized for trapping and deactivating particles within the transmission line, with the trap being spaced apart from the outer sheath at least at some portion thereof. A resilient seal is disposed at the longitudinal edges of the particle trap to prevent the particles within the trap from moving out of it.
