The invention relates to an arrangement for operating a current converter, in particular an inverter, wherein the converter is located at a path of travel of land vehicles or at a parking space of a land vehicle, the converter being adapted to support operation of at least one vehicle, the converter is combined with a cooling device adapted to cool the converter during operation, the cooling device is designed to use a heat transport medium in order to transport heat away from the converter, the arrangement comprises at least one pole and/or at least one supporting structure which is also located at the path of travel or at the parking space, the pole and/or the supporting structure extends upwards from ground, the arrangement comprises a conduct for conducting the heat transport medium and the conduct extends from the cooling device to the pole and/or to the supporting structure and also extends inside the pole and/or inside the supporting structure so that heat can be transferred from the heat transport medium inside the pole and/or inside the supporting structure to the ambiance.

Operating a current converter at a path of travel of land vehicles or at a parking space of a land vehicle

Disclosed is a system for transferring electric energy to a vehicle, in particular to a track bound vehicle such as a light rail vehicle. The system includes an electric conductor arrangement for producing an alternating electromagnetic field and for thereby transferring the energy to the vehicle. The electric conductor arrangement includes at least one alternating current line. Each alternating current line carries one phase of an alternating electric current. The conductor arrangement includes a plurality of consecutive segments. The segments extend along the path of travel of the, vehicle. Each segment includes one section of each of the at least one alternating current line.

Transferring electric energy to a vehicle, using a system which comprises consecutive segments for energy transfer

The invention relates to an arrangement for holding a plurality of electric capacitor assemblies, particularly assemblies having live housings. The arrangement has a carrier having a through-passage for introducing one of the assemblies and further has at least one bearing ring for mounting an assembly. The bearing ring is matched to the dimensions of the through-passage and the assembly such that the assembly when extending through the through-passage, is in contact with the inner edge of the through-passage via the bearing ring, but not in direct contact with the inner edge of the through-passage.

Arrangement and method for holding a plurality of electric capacitor assemblies

The invention relates to a capacitor module for a converter. The capacitor module contains a capacitor which can be fastened to a base frame or to a cooling body by means of lateral, mechanical holding devices. In addition, the capacitor comprises at least one additional mechanical holding device for fastening at least one electronic terminal of the converter and of at least one measuring sensor, especially of a current transformer and/or of a voltage transformer. The inventive capacitor module makes it possible to realize a construction of a converter which is compact and has a reduced weight.

Converter appliance capacitor assembly

A container for a rail vehicle for the installation of electric and electronic equipment is proposed. The container (,) is formed from an extruded section (,) bent in the edge regions (,) and provided with lid (,) and rear panel (,). The extruded section used for forming the wall has a special structure adopted exactly to the requirements of the container (,) and having at least one coolant duct (,) of closed cross section. A cooling circuit within the equipment is formed by means of the cooling ducts, in which case the coolant may be pressurized. The thermal energy produced and radiated in components installed individually in the interior space of the container (,) is absorbed by the cooling circuit within the equipment and is dissipated via the surface of the container to the outside atmosphere.
