Claim 0:
1. A power inverter comprising:
a bus bar, wherein the bus bar comprises a terminal for connection to a first terminal of a DC voltage supply;
a first heat sink;
a first transistor, which comprises first and second terminals between which current is transmitted when the first transistor is activated, and a first gate terminal controlling the first transistor, wherein the first terminal of the first transistor is thermally and electrically connected to the bus bar;
a second transistor, which comprises first and second terminals between which current is transmitted when the second transistor is activated, and a second gate terminal controlling the second transistor, wherein the first terminal of the second transistor is thermally and electrically connected to the first heat sink;
wherein the first and second transistors are positioned in first and second planes, respectively;
wherein the first and second planes are parallel to each other and positioned between the bus bar and the first heat sink;
a pipe through which a fluid can flow, wherein the pipe extends through the bus bar;
a second heat sink;
a third transistor, which comprises first and second terminals between which current is transmitted when the third transistor is activated, and a third gate terminal controlling the third transistor, wherein the first terminal of the third transistor is thermally and electrically connected to the bus bar;
a fourth transistor, which comprises first and second terminals between which current is transmitted when the fourth transistor is activated, and a fourth gate terminal controlling the fourth transistor, wherein the first terminal of the fourth transistor is thermally and electrically connected to the second heat sink;
wherein the third and fourth transistors are positioned in third and fourth planes, respectively;
wherein the third and fourth planes are parallel to each other and positioned between the bus bar and the second heat sink.
