1. An electric energy accumulator of capacitive type for use in an electrically motorized turret of a tank, said turret comprising a generally circular rotatable member, the accumulator comprising:

  • a plurality of cases each defining a circular sector, said cases being placed side by side so as to form at least a partial ring mounted to the generally circular rotatable member of the turret, heat dissipation shunts integrated in each said case, a plurality of electrochemical capacitors connected in parallel and disposed inside each said case, each said case further housing an over-voltage detection circuit and a circuit for controlling discharge of the capacitors into the heat dissipation shunts in the case, whereby the capacitors are discharged when an abnormal over-voltage is detected, thereby avoiding explosion of the capacitors and resulting damage in proximity to the turret of the tank.
