Abstract
An electronic module has at least one first and one second connecting terminal and power semiconductors which are connected by way of connecting conductors, diodes which are each connected in parallel with the power semiconductors and at least one capacitor, likewise connected to the power semiconductors by connecting conductors, which is used, in the event of a fault, to ensure a high degree of availability and operational reliability of a converter; the connecting conductors of the novel device have at least two sections which run parallel to one another and at least one of which can be deformed. The sections are used to guide the current flowing in the electronic module in the opposite direction and are dimensioned such that, when a threshold current is exceeded, they form a conductive connection between the connecting terminals and bridge the power semiconductors and each capacitor.
