12 Claims

1. An electrical apparatus, comprising:

a first housing having a fluid-filled or fluid-perfused wet space and a dry space that are separated from one another by a wall, wherein the wall comprises an opening;

one or more power-conducting and/or power-switching elements arranged in the wet space;

a control electronics for the one or more power-switching elements arranged in the dry space;

a second housing extending from the opening into the wet space, wherein the second housing reaches up to or encloses a power-conducting element; and

a sensor arranged in the second housing, the sensor being configured to measure a variable that depends on an electrical power flowing through the power-conducting element,

wherein the second housing seals the opening in the wall in a fluid-tight manner; and

wherein measured values or measured signals of the sensor conducted by lines are passed through the opening in the wall into the dry space.
