Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a four pole electrical wound capacitor for suppressing interferring voltages on current conducting lines. Two tapes of a thin dielectric material are each provided on one side with an electrical conducting metal layer for forming electrodes. Two lead-in conductors are connected to each layer, said lead-in conductors not only conducting the interferring current, but also the operating current flowing past the capacitor. The geometry and configuration of the wound capacitor provides a high Q LC filter which eliminates unwanted frequencies. An additional electrode foil with a terminal is in the capacitor to provide shock protection.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
A four-pole self-healing electrical wound capacitor for suppressing interferring voltages on current conducting lines comprising: a core tube; first and second tapes of thin dielectric material each provided on one side with an electrically conducting metal layer for forming electrodes, said tapes wound on said core tube to form a winding; two metal contact bridges, each at one end-face of said winding for holding the turns of said winding parallel in relation to one another; an electrode foil wound into said capacitor winding; an outer terminal coupled to said foil and insulated from said electrodes for establishing a shock-protection capacitance; third and fourth dielectric tapes arranged between said foil and said electrodes; and two lead-in conductors for conducting the interferring and operating current flowing past said capacitor, each of said lead-in conductors forming bipolar terminals coupled to opposite ones of said two metal contact bridges such that no operating current will flow through said electrodes.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
