Abstract
A capacitor assembly is provided with a plurality of wound capacitor elements aligned horizontally in a longitudinally extended housing, whereby the largest capacitor element solely occupies a tier in the housing, another tier in the housing is solely occupied by two of the capacitor elements, and wherein the capacitor elements are configurable to provide various capacitance values.
Claims26
A capacitor assembly, comprising:
- (a) a housing having a base, walls extending from the base to define a longitudinally extending interior cavity, an opening opposite the base, and a cover overlaying the opening;
- (b) first, second and third wound capacitor elements, each of the capacitor elements having an axis, a first end termination and a second end termination, and the capacitor elements are arranged in the housing with the axes of the capacitor elements aligned perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the interior cavity, and further provided that the first and second capacitor elements occupy a first tier within the housing and the third capacitor element occupies a second tier within the housing;
- and
- (c) a common terminal mounted on the outside of the cover and electrically connected to the first end terminations of each of the capacitor elements;
- and
- (d) first, second and third terminals mounted on the outside of the cover and electrically connected to the second end termination of the first, second and third capacitor elements, respectively.
