Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9629714A1] A device for connecting any number of conduction-cooled power capacitors in parallel, in series or in parallel series. The device reduces to a negligible level the inductance of the connections as well as the magnetic field generated by the currents from each capacitor. The device is mainly designed for induction heating but also enables the capacitor bank to be connected to the operating inductive resistor. Said device essentially consists of at least two metal rods (1) made of a heat- and electricity-conducting material, provided with means (8, 9) for attaching the capacitors (4), and cooled by water flowing through a channel (12) provided lengthwise through the rod (1). Each end of the rod has a massive plate (2) perpendicular to the rod (1) and connectable to the terminals of the bank (11) by means of metal shims (3). The arrangement of the shims (3) is such that the capacitors attached to the rods (1) may be switched in parallel, in series or in parallel series.
