Abstract
Electric bus arrangement (1) for DC-supply of power components, particularly for an inverter, having a first and a second plate (2, 3), arranged in parallel with each other, separated by an isolating layer (4), by which the first plate (2) connects first connections of power components (13) of a first group with first connections (23) of power components (14) of a second group, and the second plate (3) connects second connections of the power components (13) of the first group with second connections of the power components (14) of the second group. In such a bus arrangement an increase of the switching frequency is desired, however without the risk of damaging components due to overvoltage. For this purpose, the first and the second plates (2,3) are branching in the area of the circuit components (14) of the second group into connection extensions (15, 16), which are directed in different directions, and from the meeting point (17) of the connection extensions (15, 16) the first and the second plates are arranged in parallel.
