HV Ceramic Feedthroughs
HV Ceramic Feedthroughs
Morgan Advanced Materials (Morgan) has launched a new service providing high-voltage Ceramic-to-metal Feedthroughs capable of performing with voltages in excess of 100 kV DC while also withstanding pressures of up to 1,700 bar (25,000 psi). The launch is in response to increased demand for higher-specification products from sectors including oil & gas, nuclear energy and medical diagnostics. Based around Morgan’s acclaimed Deranox 970 high dielectric strength ceramic, each product is designed and manufactured in line with specific customer requirements. Ceramic feedthroughs have become widely established as the product of choice for high-voltage applications as other materials can struggle to cope from an electrical or mechanical point of view. Failure of these products cannot be tolerated as the ‘corona’ effect caused by undesired voltage build-up can result in catastrophic failure of an entire system and costly, unscheduled downtime. Applications for high-voltage feedthroughs range from powering electric pumps used on the seabed in oil and gas exploration, to neutron generators for non-destructive testing applications in the nuclear power generation sector. Another primary user is the medical sector, for anode and cathode connectors in x-ray, scanning and diagnostic equipment.
