Abstract
A two-level power converter assembly includes a positive bus having a positive DC power bus, at least one high side semiconductor switch, and an AC bus high side output from the at least one high side semiconductor switch. The assembly also includes a negative bus having a negative DC power bus, at least one low side semiconductor switch, and an AC bus low side output from the at least one low side semiconductor switch. The positive bus is laterally offset and overlapping with the negative bus and the at least one high side semiconductor switch is connected in series with the at least one low side semiconductor switch between the positive bus and the negative bus. A first node connects the AC bus high side output to the AC bus low side output and the first node includes a first AC phase leg output.
