Abstract: An electrical system includes an electrical power module with a heat sink provided with heat-dissipating projections. The system further includes a cold plate of a heat-transfer fluid box. The cold plate has cavities which are complementary to the projections so as to receive said projections. Liquid metal is inserted between the heat sink and the cold plate, at least between the projections and the cavities.
