    摘要: A device for discharging a DC link capacitor includes a discharge device which is connected in parallel with the DC link capacitor and by which, on receipt of a discharge signal requesting discharge, a current flow can be generated which, in the presence of a first signal state of a control signal, has a lower current intensity than in the presence of a second signal state of the control signal; a voltage detection device by which a voltage signal describing a capacitor voltage dropping across the intermediate circuit capacitor can be generated; and a control device with a signal generating unit which is arranged to generate a reference signal whose value at the time of receipt of the discharge signal is dependent on the voltage signal and is reduced relative to the voltage signal, and a comparison unit which is arranged to compare the voltage signal with the reference signal.

    摘要: An electrical device for a converter has at least one capacitor having a first connection and a second connection, a first busbar and a second busbar is disclosed. A respective busbar has a greater extension along a transverse direction than along a longitudinal direction, and has a greater extension along the longitudinal direction than along a vertical direction. The respective busbar has a first surface and a second surface which are opposite one other with respect to the vertical direction. The device also has a first contact-connection device electrically conductively contact-connected to the first connection and via which the first connection is electrically conductively connected to the first busbar, and a second contact-connection device electrically conductively contact-connected to the second connection via which the second connection is electrically conductively connected to the second busbar. The busbars delimit a connection space in the vertical direction for connecting a semiconductor power unit.
