Abstract
A gas-insulated thyristor assembly is disclosed. The assembly comprises at least one thyristor column which includes disk-type thyristors which are arranged in side by side relationship. The assembly further includes drive and circuit component modules associated with the thyristors. In accordance with the invention, a rotationally-symmetric metallic shield surrounds the disk-type thyristors and is supported within a cylindrical metallic pressure tube by insulating posts. The opposite ends of the aforesaid pressure tube are closed off by bulkheads comprised of insulating material and the tube is adapted to receive SF.sub.6 gas under pressure. A detachable electrical connecting line is passed through each bulkhead and the pressure tube is adapted to be detachably connectable with adjoining pressure tubes.
