1. An apparatus for damping vibrations in a high-voltage device, the apparatus comprising:
a carrier arrangement for elements of the high-voltage device, the carrier arrangement including support elements that are connected to one another via connecting elements;
intermediate elements configured to damp vibrations, said intermediate elements being arranged between said connecting elements and said support elements and/or between different said support elements;
a coating of said intermediate elements having a determined coefficient of sliding friction on a material of said support elements, and wherein the coefficient of sliding friction lies in a range of 0.01 to 0.3 and/or above 1.
