  • Bypass switch for a boost device
    Patent number: 9444254
    Abstract: A boost device is coupled to a compensation device that is configured to be connected to a power system. The boost device includes multiple portions, each of the multiple portions including at least one electrical element, and a solid-state switching device electrically connected to the at least one electrical element. The solid-state switching device is connected in parallel with the at least one electrical element such that closing the solid-state switching substantially prevents current flow to the at least one electrical element.
    Type: Grant

  • Internally-fused capacitor
    Patent number: 6370009
    Abstract: An internally-fused capacitor includes a capacitor housing, at least one capacitor module, and at least one fuse assembly. The capacitor module is positioned in the housing and includes capacitor elements. Each capacitor element includes a first extended foil edge on a first end and a second extended foil edge on a second end. The fuse assembly is positioned in the housing and includes a fuse wire. The fuse wire is connected at a first end of the fuse wire to the first extended foil edge by a crimped connection.
