Abstract
The present disclosure is directed at an AC drive for driving an electric motor. The AC drive has a 3-phase diode bridge, an inverter and a snubber board with multilayer printed circuit board elements, wherein the power lane in every layer of every element is connected to only one potential DC− or DC+, each element includes two capacitors of inverted polarity, wherein each element includes two C-shaped bus bars and wherein the C-shaped bus bars of two neighbouring elements are placed in close proximity to each other.
