Abstract
An insulator for supporting the inner conductor of a gas insulated transmission line is configured so that its outer extremity is a simple blunt portion that fits loosely within a bearing block of insulating material of lower dielectric constant than the insulator itself so as to provide structural simplicity and improved performance through lessened breakdown susceptibility. A cylindrical particle trap ring formed of flexible metal sheet material is attached to the bearing block at locations spaced from the insulator.
