Abstract
Capacitors and power electronic components, such as power switches of hybrid configuration, are positioned with low inductance and in close proximity to each other on one said of an intermediate-circuit assembly, below a flat intermediate-circuit bus. The bus and the capacitors and power electronic components are electrically and conductively connected. An electrically insulated and heat-dissipating cooling body is positioned on the other side of the intermediate-circuit assembly. At least a portion of the converter circuitry or the entire converter is arranged in a single housing. The result is a compact and reliable electronic circuit arrangement for a converter.
