Abstract
An exemplary power-electronic switching system has a plurality of switching units, wherein each switching unit includes a housing and at least one switching module which is arranged within the housing. A mounting unit has a holding apparatus, on which the housings of the switching units are arranged. The holding apparatus includes an insulation material for electrically insulating the holding apparatus from the housings of the switching units and the housings of the switching units from one another. The insulation material allows the housings of the switching units of the switching system to have different voltage potentials from one another and additionally can be realized in a simple and space-saving manner and easily be assembled. In addition, the housing of each switching unit includes a material for at least partially shielding an electric and magnetic field.
