  • Patent number: 7576972
    Abstract: A method is described for applying a double sealing system to an electro-technical device and an electro-technical device with a double seal. Said Electro-technical device has; a container (5) housing a functional unit (2) and including one aperture (52) provided with a cover (6), wherein said cover has a first face (61) abutting an annular surface (520) which borders said aperture (52); a first sealing joint (7) accommodated in a first groove (64) provided in the first face (61) of the annular surface (520), a second groove (65) provided on said first face (61) of the annular surface (520), and surrounding the first groove (64), said second groove (65) having a closed concavity not directly accessible from the exterior of the electro-technical device (1) when the cover is applied to the annular surface (520).

  • Patent number: 7489496
    Abstract: A high voltage capacitor design is provided that provides improved performance. The high voltage capacitor includes a stack of mechanically joined capacitor cells, which in one variant utilize a separator formed of two layers of paper. In one version, the high voltage capacitor may be used as a capacitative voltage divider.

  • Publication number: 20080151471
    Abstract: A high voltage capacitor includes multiple conductive strips on each side of a dielectric layer. The conductive strips on one side of the dielectric layer partially overlap conductive strips on the opposite side of the dielectric layer, in effect forming a series combination of subcapacitors. Insulating layers may overlay the conductive strips, sandwiching the strips between one of the insulating layers and the dielectric layer. To decrease the magnitude of the electric field between adjacent conductive strips on the same side of the dielectric layer, the gaps between the adjacent strips are filled with a dielectric liquid during the manufacturing process. The dielectric liquid may be, for example, aromatic oil, silicone oil, mineral oil, synthetic oil, a mixture of different oils, or a mixture of oil or oils with another substance. The resulting decrease in the magnitude of the electric field within the gaps reduces partial discharge in the capacitor.
