A frequency converter assembly includes a frequency converter, a motor, and an intermediate component. The frequency converter includes a converter housing with an opening. The motor includes a motor having a motor housing with a terminal block. The intermediate component is attached to the motor housing around the terminal block and is attached to the converter housing such that the intermediate component is between the housings with the terminal block being accessible through the opening of the converter housing.

Frequency converter assembly having converter housing attached through intermediate component to motor housing

An assembly includes a frequency converter, a motor, and an adapter. The frequency converter and the motor both have housings with an opening. The adapter has a base part and a circuit board having first and second electrical connecting elements supported over a portion of a central opening of the base part. The adapter is between the housings with the central opening being between the openings of the housings. The base part is mechanically connected to the housings with the first electrical connecting element of the adapter engaging an electrical connecting element of the frequency converter via the opening of the converter housing and the central opening and with the second electrical connecting element of the adapter engaging an electrical connecting element of the motor via the opening of the motor housing and the central opening whereby the frequency converter and the motor are connected via the adapter.
