  • Publication number: 20250016944
    Abstract: A high-voltage component includes a housing and a high-voltage connection arranged therein. The housing includes a cover element, which closes an opening of the housing. The high-voltage connection is accessible from the outside exclusively via the opening. The cover element is releasably connected to the housing via a plurality of connecting elements. A cable extends, from a non-detachable first connection arranged on the housing, outside the housing at least partially over the cover element to a second connection arranged on the housing in such a way that at least one first connecting element is covered by the cable and is thus not accessible from the outside.
