An active discharge circuit for a vehicle discharge device; for discharging a vehicle intermediate circuit, includes a connector for connection to an intermediate circuit element of the vehicle intermediate circuit; a circuit arrangement parallel-connected to the connector and having at discharge element and at switching element, the switching element being designed to electrically contact the discharge element to the connector in a closed switching state and not to electrically contact the discharge element to the connector in an open switching state; and a discrete discharge circuit being designed to adjust the switching states in the switching element by pulse width modulation during discharging of the at least one intermediate circuit element.

A busbar for power electronics is disclosed for connecting a first electrical element to a second electrical element. The busbar includes at least one positive lamination as a first current-carrying element and at least one negative lamination as a second current-carrying element. The at least one positive lamination is arranged on the at least one negative lamination in such a way to form a laminated stack.
