Abstract
A capacitor assembly, configured for a high-voltage application, contains an active capacitor part, a housing for accommodating the active capacitor part and an insulating medium for the electrical insulation of the active capacitor part. A flexible-shape inlay is arranged between the insulating medium and the housing and connected electrically thereto. Ideally the capacitor assembly is part of a converter assembly.
Claims15
A capacitor assembly for a high-voltage application, comprising:
- an active capacitor part;
- a housing for accommodating said active capacitor part;
- an insulating medium for insulating said active capacitor part;
- and
- a flexible-shape inlay disposed between said insulating medium and said housing and configured to at least partly separate said insulating medium from said housing, said flexible-shape inlay being connected electrically to said housing.
A method for producing a capacitor assembly, which comprises the steps of:
- disposing an inlay to rest on an inner wall of a housing and being electrically connected to the housing;
- providing an active capacitor part inside the inlay;
- and
- subsequently filling the housing with an electrically insulating potting compound to at least partially fill the interspace between the active capacitor part and the inlay, with the inlay at least partly separating the electrically insulating potting compound from the housing.
A capacitor assembly for a high-voltage application, comprising:
- an active capacitor part;
- a housing for accommodating said active capacitor part;
- an insulating medium disposed outside said active capacitor part for insulating said active capacitor part;
- and
- an inlay disposed between said insulating medium and said housing, distal from said active capacitor part, and configured to at least partly separate said insulating medium from said housing, said inlay connected electrically to said housing.
