Abstract
An inverter includes power cards and link capacitors. The power cards have inverting circuitry configured to convert DC power provided by a power source into AC power. The link capacitors are configured to absorb ripple currents generated by the inverting circuitry or the power source. The link capacitors and power cards are aligned along an axis. The power cards are spatially interleaved with link capacitors.
