DOUBLE-LAYER CAPACITOR Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering. SUBSTANCE: double-layer capacitor that can be used as storage capacitor, short-time or stand-by current supply, or voltage divider has case and at least two current leads; angle between projections of longitudinal axes of current leads on at least one longitudinal plane of capacitor is greater than 0 and smaller than 180 deg. which makes it possible to reduce in- service mechanical thrusts caused by incoming wires or buses during capacitor charging or discharging by heavy currents. EFFECT: reduced in-service mechanical thrusts, enlarged functional capabilities. 20 cl, 5 dwg
