Abstract

A converter with a DC link for converting an input voltage into an alternating voltage with a pre-determined amplitude and frequency for driving a single or multiple-phase load may include a number of modules which are stackable over one another. Each module may have a ceramic cooling body with a receiving surface on which electronic components of one phase are mounted, wherein the ceramic cooling body has channel(s) in the region of the receiving surface for carrying a coolant during the operation of the converter The converter may include a DC link capacitor and input-side and output-side power connections arranged on a first carrier having a arranged perpendicular to the receiving surface. The converter may also include a control unit for driving the electronic components of the phase, the control unit being arranged on a second carrier having a main plane arranged perpendicularly to the plane of the receiving surface.
