APPARATUS FOR MONITORING A POWER CAPACITOR AND ADAPTER FOR SUCH AN APPARATUS
An apparatus for monitoring a power capacitor having a housing with a housing interior to be gas-tightly closed off at a housing opening, includes a sensor device outputting a signal as a function of a gas pressure in the housing. An adapter mechanically connects the sensor device to the housing at the housing opening and fluidically connects it to the housing interior. The adapter has a cylindrical adapter body divided into a plurality of functional longitudinal sections and a feed-through for the fluidic connection extending over the plurality of longitudinal sections. A first longitudinal section, disposed in a region of the housing opening after connecting the adapter to the housing, caps or closes off the feed-through in a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the adapter body and fluidically connects it to the housing interior in at least one plane parallel to the longitudinal axis.
