Abstract
Abstract Hermetically sealed fiber optic cables (LW) are conducted through an insulator column consisting of several hollow insulators. The fiber optic cables (LW) are fastened to a support element (TE), whose one end is connected to the reference potential and whose other end is connected to a high voltage. The support element (TE) is characterized by a surface having only limited electrical conductivity. This assures that, as a result of the even field strength distribution thus guaranteed, no impermissibly high voltages are impressed on the fiber optic cable (LW). A non-conductive tube (GV) for conveying gas is wound around the support element (TE).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
An electrical insulator column having at least one hermetically sealed, hollow insulator filled with an insulating material providing mechanical support and insulation from a reference potential of a high voltage carrying assembly, comprising: at least one fiber optic cable conducted through the electrical insulator column in a hermetically sealed manner; and a support element, providing fixed-mounted support for the fiber optic cable, fixedly mounting to the insulator column, and having a limited electrical conductivity surface enabling the support element to withstand the potential difference of being connected between the high voltage of the site of the assembly and the reference potential site.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
An electrical insulator column having at least one hermetically sealed, hollow insulator filled with an insulating material providing mechanical support and insulation from a reference potential of a high voltage carrying assembly, comprising: at least one fiber optic cable conducted through the electrical insulator column in a hermetically sealed manner; and a support element, providing fixed-mounted support for the fiber optic cable, fixedly mounting to the insulator column, and having a limited electrical conductivity surface enabling the support element to withstand the potential difference of being connected between the high voltage of the site of the assembly and the reference potential site.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
An insulator column according to claim 1, wherein the support element limited electrical conductivity surface is comprised of a material having a specific impedance which decreases as the electric field strength increases.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
41 words
