Abstract

The invention relates to an inverter comprising a casing, a circuit board (3), a power module, a connector guide (10) which is configured to keep male connectors of the power module in a given orientation, and a busbar system (6) connected to the power module (4) and comprising a ferromagnetic element (14) that is suitable for interacting with a current sensor (9) that is rigidly connected to the circuit board (3). The inverter (1) comprises two elongate centering elements such as centering fingers or pins (11) which extend in parallel and are arranged at a distance from one another, and are rigidly connected to a reference part of the inverter. In this instance, the two elongate centering elements pass through the circuit board (3), the connector guide (10) and the busbar system (6), with the casing (2) or part of the casing (2) forming the reference part. This ensures that the circuit board (3), the connector guide (10) and the busbar system (6) are correctly aligned with one another.
