Abstract

An electrical installation has a container which encloses high-voltage components. The electrical installation can be fitted inexpensively and quickly, and at the same time provide sufficient cooling of the high-voltage components. A control room with control elements and/or display elements of the electrical installation and a cool room with a cooling device for at least one of the high-voltage components are disposed in the interior of the container.

Claims (18)

1. An electrical installation, comprising:

high-voltage components containing at least one phase module having a series circuit of submodules, each of said submodules having two connecting terminals, an energy store and a power semiconductor circuit connected in parallel with said energy store, said power semiconductor circuit having two turn-off power switches disposed in series with one another; and

a container enclosing said high-voltage components, said container containing an interior having a control room with at least one of control elements and display elements for the electrical installation and a cooling room with a cooling device for at least one of said high-voltage components.

2. The electrical installation according to claim 1 , wherein said control room has a sealable access from outside said container.

3. The electrical installation according to claim 1 , wherein said cooling room has a sealable access from outside said container.

4. The electrical installation according to claim 1 , further comprising a high-voltage room inside said container which contains said high-voltage components.

5. The electrical installation according to claim 4 , wherein said high-voltage room has at least one sealable access from outside said container.

6. The electrical installation according to claim 1 , wherein said container has a wall that is at least partially soundproofed.

7. The electrical installation according to claim 6 , wherein said wall at least partially has at least one of thermal insulation and insulation from electromagnetic radiation.

8. The electrical installation according to claim 6 , wherein said wall is at least partially in double-wall form.

9. The electrical installation according to claim 6 , wherein said wall has a soundproofing layer at least in subregions.

10. The electrical installation according to claim 1 , wherein said container contains at least one inductor.

11. The electrical installation according to claim 10 , wherein said inductor is water-cooled.

12. The electrical installation according to claims 6 , wherein said container has, on an outside of said wall, externally accessible high-voltage connections for connecting the electrical installation to one of a transmission network and a distribution network.

13. The electrical installation according to claim 12 , wherein said high-voltage connections are in a form of part of a plug connection.

14. The electrical installation according to claim 1 , wherein said container has connections for a supply of a cooling fluid.

15. The electrical installation according to claim 1 , wherein said power semiconductor circuit and said energy store form a full-bridge circuit.

16. The electrical installation according to claim 1 , wherein said container contains one of an active filter, a solid-state power factor corrector and a converter.
