Abstract
A capacitor bank assembly has a conductive mount tray and capacitors. The capacitors are vertically mounted and held by the conductive mount tray. All positive terminals of the capacitors are connected to a first conductive plate. All negative terminals of the capacitors are connected to a second conductive plate. An insulating material separates the first conductive plate and the second conductive plate.
Claims14
A capacitor bank assembly for impedance injection into a power transmission line, the capacitor bank assembly comprising:
- a conductive mount tray comprising convective cooling slots;
- a plurality of capacitors vertically mounted and held by the conductive mount tray;
- a first conductive plate to which all positive terminals of the plurality of capacitors are connected;
- a second conductive plate to which all negative terminals of the plurality of capacitors are connected;
- an insulating material separating the first conductive plate and the second conductive plate;
- a cooling plate thermally coupled to the conductive mount tray, wherein the conductive mount tray is mounted to the cooling plate;
- and
- a heat sink thermally coupled to the cooling plate to provide cooling to ambient air, wherein the cooling plate is attached to the heat sink;
- wherein the plurality of capacitors are cooled by convective air flow passing through the convective cooling slots and by conductive cooling from the conductive mount tray to the cooling plate;
- wherein the capacitor bank assembly is a subsystem or component of a transformerless impedance injection unit.
