New 40 & 50 kV Feedthroughs Offer Safe Air Side Connectivity
Laurens, SC, December 15, 2006 - CeramTec North America Corporation (CTNA) has launched a new family of hermetic high voltage feedthroughs that have mating air side cable assemblies. The offering includes a 40 kV feedthrough and a 50 kV feedthrough, which each have a 10 Amp current carrying capacity.
These high voltage feedthroughs offer a much smaller solution to fluted high voltage feedthrough designs and have the added safety of the air side cable assembly, which has a threaded connection. The standard offering includes weldable, ConFlatŪ and ISO flange mounted installation configurations. The corona resistant high voltage cable assembly, which is required to achieve the 40 or 50 kV rating, utilizes a molded silicone body and silicone insulated cable. The standard length for these cable assemblies is 8' but custom lengths are available. The use of silicone insulating grease is recommended for the air side cable assembly to feedthrough interface to help assure air exclusion. High voltage conditioning is also recommended for these feedthroughs.
Like all of CeramTec's CeramasealŪ products these new high voltage feedthroughs are built for use in extreme conditions. The feedthrough has a temperature capability of -269°C to 450°C and is guaranteed to be leak tight to a leak rate < 1 x 10-10 atm-cc/sec (He).
