Abstract
A device is disclosed for connecting a plurality of capacitors between a first and a second terminal. The device includes a plurality of bus bars located in a parallel spaced apart relationship. A plurality of fasteners fasten the plurality of capacitors between adjacent bus bars. A plurality of shims are interposed between selected bus bars and the first and second terminal for electrically connecting the plurality of capacitors between the first and second terminals.
Claims11
A device for connecting a plurality of capacitors between a first and a second terminal, comprising:
- a plurality of bus bars;
- said plurality of bus bars being located in a parallel spaced apart relationship;
- a plurality of fasteners for fastening the plurality of capacitors between adjacent ones of said bus bars;
- and
- a plurality of shims interposed between selected ones of said bus bars and said first and second terminals for electrically connecting the plurality of capacitors between the first and second terminals.
A device for connecting a plurality of capacitors between a first and a second terminal, comprising:
- a plurality of bus bars with each of said plurality of bus bars being formed from a thermally and electrically conductive metal;
- an internal channel defined within each of said plurality of bus bars for receiving cooling water for cooling said bus bar thereby;
- said plurality of bus bars being located in a parallel spaced apart relationship;
- a plurality of fasteners for fastening the plurality of capacitors between adjacent ones of said bus bars;
- each of said plurality of bus bars having a T-shaped piece;
- a plurality of shims with each of said plurality of shims being formed from a thermally and electrically conductive metal;
- each of said T-shaped piece of said plurality of bus bars and said plurality of shims and the first and second terminals having aligned fastening holes;
- and
- a plurality of terminal fasteners extending through said aligned fastening holes for securing said plurality of shims between selected T-shaped pieces of said plurality of bus bars and the first and second terminals for electrically connecting the plurality of capacitors between the first and second terminals.
