Abstract
A slipring assembly comprises a slipring module having at least one slipring track, which is in electrical contact with at least one slipring brush. The slipring module comprises an isolating body holding the at least one slipring track. Furthermore a cooling element is embedded into or attached to the slipring module to remove heat from the slipring module and to increase the temperature of the at least one slipring track. This allows decreasing the temperature of the slipring module to increase the maximum transferable power and lifetime.
