Abstract
A gas-insulated transmission line including an outer sheath at low potential, an inner conductor within the outer sheath at high AC potential, an insulating gas disposed within the outer sheath for electrically insulating the inner conductor from the outer sheath, and means for insulatably supporting the inner conductor within the outer sheath. Means for limiting the DC voltage on the inner conductor are included, with these means being responsive to the DC voltage on the inner conductor so that the DC voltage limiting means discharge the DC voltage on the line whenever the DC voltage exceeds a predetermined level.
