  • Patent number: 12562299
    Abstract: An electrical device for connection to a high-voltage system has a tank filled with insulating fluid. The tank has at least one side wall forming a planar wall portion and a radially outwardly curved bulging/convex portion, which increases the interior volume of the tank. An active part with a core and at least one winding is arranged in the tank. A winding barrier system encloses one or more windings. The convex bulging portion has a shape that complements a portion of the winding barrier system and lies opposite it at a distance, such that the electrical device has increased dielectric strength. An additional barrier is disposed between the winding barrier system and the convex bulging portion which has a round portion, bent radially outwards and facing the convex bulging portion, and two planar flat portions, which at an axial crease respectively extend out of the round portion towards a free end.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10978236
    Abstract: An apparatus for electrically connecting at least four electrical conductors includes a connecting element and at least four shielding pipes, which are each provided for receiving at least one conductor. In order to enable a simple and economical connection, the connecting element forms pipe connection pieces and each connection piece is integrally joined or materially bonded to a respective shielding pipe.

  • Patent number: 8179060
    Abstract: A motor controller for controlling at least one electric motor has an operating signal generator for generating an operating control signal for the at least one electric motor and also a sound signal generator for generating a sound control signal. A mixer superimposes the sound control signal on the operating control signal in order to obtain a control signal for the at least one electric motor. It is then possible to dispense with loudspeakers and the like in the appliance which contains an electric motor with such a motor controller in order to output, for example, signal tones which indicate an operating state of the appliance to the user.
