ABSTRACT:
A corona generating device together with a coronode wire end block assembly is described, wherein the end block includes a spring member adapted for connection to a coronode wire which operates as a circuit breaker at the contact point of the end block thereby terminating the power supply, and preventing a potentially dangerous and destructive arcing situation in the event the wire ruptures. In a preferred embodiment the end block assembly comprises a conductive electrode having at one end a coronode contact and, at the other end a conductive plug adapted for engagement with a power supply contact, with the electrode being positioned in an electrically insulating holder between the coronode contact and the conductive plug. The conductive spring is mounted to the electrically insulating holder on one side of the coronode contact with the other end of the conductive spring being connected to the coronode wire. The device further includes a spring means to tension the coronode wire and the spring such that the spring means is in electrical contact with the coronode contact, whereby the coronode wire may be energized and wherein in the event that the coronode wire ruptures, the spring acts as a circuit breaker returning to its untensioned position breaking electrical contact with the coronode contact.
