ABSTRACT:
A capacitor mounting assembly uses a mounting assembly for mounting and aligning a plurality of DC can capacitors on a bulk power system assembly. The mounting assembly includes a metallic base member with a channel cross section having mounting flanges at the longitudinal edges with holes to allow fasteners to pass through and secure the base member to a power system assembly. A top metallic cover plate and a plastic layer cover the top surface of the base member to form a sandwich construction with the plastic layer between the two metallic surfaces. The plastic layer is a polypropylene sheet in the illustrative embodiment. The three layers have holes punched through the sandwich to accept the insertion of the can capacitors. The holes in the polypropylene sheet have flexible tabs about the inner circumference of each of the punched holes to provide interference fit support for the inserted can capacitors as well as assuring alignment of the capacitor relative to the hole and allowing sufficient resilience to allow connection of the capacitors to the bus bar connections of the power system.
