The present disclosure relates to a wound electrical component comprising a wound body comprising a plurality of wound layers of a web of an electrically insulating material around a longitudinal axis of the body. The wound body comprises a plurality of electrically conducting layers of an electrically conducting material, each printed onto a respective separate area of the web in the wound body. An edge zone of at least one of the plurality of electrically conducting layers is connected to a printed high permittivity layer of a high permittivity material along said edge zone such that at least a part of the high permittivity layer extends, printed on the web, beyond the edge zone.

An electrical component cover includes a central portion, a first end portion and a second end portion and one or more flexible portions between the central portion and the first end portion or second end portion to enable the electrical component cover to flex and thereby facilitate varying geometries in power lines attached to insulators.

Shatter protection for a high voltage apparatus with a ceramic insulator includes at least one electrically insulating tube including a plurality of holes going through an envelope surface. The electrically insulating tube has a diameter such that there is a minimum distance between the tube and the ceramic insulator when arranged concentrically. A method for producing a shatter protection includes winding a first helix shape of the electrically insulating fiber composite material at a first pitch such that there is a first gap between the winding turns, and winding a second helix shape of the electrically insulating fiber composite material onto the first helix shape in the opposite direction and at a second pitch, such that there is a second gap between the winding turns. Thereby forming a first electrically insulating tube with holes formed by the first and second gap between the winding turns.

An insulator for a corona igniter, referred to as a barrier discharge ignition (BDI) device, for use in an internal combustion engine, is provided. A central electrode is disposed in a slot of the insulator and an electrode tip is spaced from a round insulator tip by insulating material. A shell formed of metal surrounds a portion of the insulator. The insulator has a thickness tapering between a shell firing surface and the insulator tip. The tapering insulator thickness is unidirectional and thus does not increase between a start of the taper and the insulator tip. A method of manufacturing an insulator for a corona igniter is also provided. Equations can be used to determine if a taper in the insulator thickness is needed to encourage corona propagation along a core nose projection of the insulator, and if so, the location and size of the taper.

A support structure for a HVDC disconnector is disclosed. The support structure comprises a support insulator having a body enclosing a chamber; an insulating gas provided in the chamber; and a first flange and a second flange positioned at opposite ends of the support insulator. A rotating insulator may be positioned in the chamber.
