Patent ID: 8174817

Claim:
A sealed and impregnated wound capacitor assembly comprising: at least one wound capacitor; a first and second electrodes, the first and second electrodes respectively connected to opposing ends of each of the at least one wound capacitor to form an electrical connection between each end of the at least one wound capacitor and the respective first or second electrode; an enclosure surrounding the length of each one of the at least one wound capacitor, the enclosure forming a sealed annular region between the interior of the enclosure, the first and second electrodes and the exterior of the length of each one of the at least one wound capacitor; a fill port disposed within at least the first or second electrode, the fill port forming a fluid dielectric flow path into the sealed annular region; an insertable seal fitting for sealing the fluid dielectric flow path; and a fluid dielectric disposed between the conductor and insulation windings of each one of the at least one wound capacitor by vacuum impregnation of the fluid dielectric supplied to the sealed annular region via the fill port prior to sealing the fluid dielectric flow path with the insertable sealing fitting.
