Methods and arrangements for providing insulation in an X-ray generator are provided. The method includes providing an insulation member having a conductive element electrically coupled to a component within an X-ray system. The insulation member is located at a distance from the component with a thermal transfer fluid between the conductive element and the component. The method further includes configuring the conductive element to have an electric potential substantially equal to an electric potential of the component wherein the electric field within the thermal transfer fluid is reduced.
