    摘要: A converter is described. The converter includes at least one medium voltage stage including an inverter circuit, at least one medium frequency transformer, a first winding of the transformer being electrically connected to the medium voltage stage, at least one DC output stage, the DC output stage being electrically connected to a second winding of the medium frequency transformer, and a plurality of containers having a volume. Each container is configured for holding an insulating fluid inside the volume. Each container has provided within the container one of the at least one medium frequency transformer to be electrically insulated by the fluid. The container includes at least one connector for fluidly connecting the volume with a fluid circuit. A first container of the plurality of containers is fluidly connected to a second container of the plurality of containers via the connector, the at least one connector comprising a valve for opening and/or closing the connector, wherein the valve is configured for fluidly separating the first container from the second container when the connector is closed by the valve.

    摘要: A rectifier including at least two semiconductor devices connected in parallel, a first conductor provided in series with a first one of the at least two semiconductor devices, the first conductor forming a first winding of a coupled inductor, and a second conductor provided in series with a second of the at least two semiconductor devices, the second conductor forming a second winding of the coupled inductor. The first winding and the second winding each include a corresponding number of turns arranged in an antiparallel manner so that magnetic fields generated by the first winding and the second winding in the coupled inductor are mutually opposite when a current flows through the at least two semiconductor devices. The rectifier further includes a third conductor having a first and a second node, wherein the third conductor forms a third winding of the coupled inductor, and an indicator circuit connected to the first and second node. The indicator circuit is configured for indicating a presence of an electrical signal at the first and second node, and for sending a warning signal when powered by a current received by the indicator circuit from the third conductor.
