Abstract: An AC/DC converter includes: an AC circuit breaker, configured as a hybrid circuit or semiconductor circuit breaker; a rectifier; a smoothing capacitor; a semiconductor switch connected in series with the smoothing capacitor; and a first isolation relay for galvanic isolation. One input of the AC circuit breaker forms an AC input of the converter. One output of the AC circuit breaker is connected with an input of the rectifier. The smoothing capacitor, and the first semiconductor switch, connect a first output of the rectifier with its second output. The first output of the rectifier is connected, with one input of the first isolation relay. The one output of the first isolation relay forms a first DC output of the AC/DC converter. The AC circuit breaker, the first semiconductor switch, and the first isolation relay are interconnected.

Abstract: A mechatronic module includes: a hybrid circuit arrangement having at least one interrupter, which interrupter includes at least one first mechanical switch and at least one first semiconductor circuit arrangement. The hybrid circuit arrangement is situated on a first face of a ceramic substrate, a second face, opposite the first face, of the ceramic substrate being connected to a metal plate. A housing shell is fastened to the metal plate and encloses the ceramic substrate and the hybrid circuit arrangement. The metal plate and the housing shell form a housing of the mechatronic module. Interstices within the housing are filled at least in some regions with a potting compound.
