Abstract:
An inground isolator and associated method can provide an electrically isolated break in a drill string using electrical insulating members/isolators that are supported by a housing. During drill string operations, the isolators are subject only compressive forces responsive to both extension (pushing) and retraction (pulling) by the drill string. The isolators can be formed from an electrically insulating material such as a ceramic material. An interchangeable inground tool system is described which integrally serves to provide an electrically isolating gap in the drill string.

Claim (Index 4):
The apparatus of  claim 3  wherein said housing is configured to support the plurality of electrical isolators as a first group and a second group in a spaced apart relationship along said housing length and surrounding the through passage such that, responsive to the drill rig pushing on the drill string, a first one of the first and second groups is subject to an increase in compressive force while subjecting the second group to a decrease in compressive force.
