A power capacitor unit for high-pressure applications is provided. The power capacitor unit includes a housing, a plurality of capacitor elements connected to each other and arranged inside the housing, a dielectric liquid (L), a solid electrical insulation system arranged to electrically insulate each capacitor element, a busbar, a plurality of fuse wires, each fuse wire having a first end connected to a respective capacitor element and a second end connected to the busbar (B), wherein the capacitor elements, the solid electrical insulation system, and the fuse wires are immersed in the dielectric liquid (L). Each fuse wire has a plurality of first sections that are in physical contact with the electrical insulation system, and wherein each fuse wire has a plurality of second sections without physical contact with the solid electrical insulation system.

A metallized film capacitor element includes a plurality of concentrically arranged cylindrical sub-elements, each sub-element including at least one metal coated dielectric film wound in a plurality of turns. The capacitor element further includes one or more thermally conductive sections provided between the sub-elements. Each of the thermally conductive sections includes a sheet wound at least one turn and having a higher thermal conductivity than the metal coated dielectric film of the sub-elements. A thermally conducting film is provided for improving the thermal conductivity of electrical power components. The thermally conducting film includes an electrically insulating film and thermally conductive and electrically insulating particles disposed on at least one side of the film.
