  • Patent number: 11938804
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for installation of traction batteries for a vehicle having a chassis comprising at least one load-carrying frame member. A front bracket member and a rear bracket member are adapted to be secured to and project from the frame member of the vehicle for receiving a traction battery between the front bracket member and the rear bracket member. The system also comprises a first and a second slider adapted to be connected to a front and a rear side, respectively, of a traction battery. The sliders are adapted to be mated with the bracket members subsequently to the sliders having been connected to the traction battery, thereby enabling the traction battery by means of the connected sliders to be received by the bracket members and be moved towards the frame member of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11831133
    Abstract: The invention is concerned with a bushing for high voltage applications and a bushing arrangement including such a bushing. The bushing includes a conductor defining a longitudinal axis (A) through the bushing where the bushing has a central section and a first and a second peripheral section on opposite sides of the central section along the longitudinal axis (A) and includes an optical fibre with a first part (P1) stretching through the central section, the fibre being adapted to detect physical properties being influenced or caused by the operation of the bushing. The sections are sections of a solid condenser core and the bushing further includes an enclosure for a length of fibre that is to exit the bushing, the enclosure being buried in the central section adjacent the surface of the condenser core and having an interior volume.
