Classification: CPC B  H  Y | IPC B  H

Claim 0:
1. A power module for operating an electric vehicle drive, comprising:
a plurality of semiconductor components;
an intermediate circuit capacitor connected in parallel to the semiconductor components;
a heatsink for a removal of heat generated by the semiconductor components, wherein the heatsink is located between the semiconductor components and the intermediate circuit capacitor; and
an intermediate circuit line that electrically connects the intermediate circuit capacitor to the semiconductor components,
wherein a first portion of the intermediate circuit line extends perpendicular to a direction of flow for a coolant in the heatsink on a first side of the semiconductor components, and the first side of the semiconductor components faces away from the heatsink,
wherein a second portion of the intermediate circuit line extends perpendicular to the flow of the coolant in the heatsink on a first side of the heatsink, and the first side of the heatsink faces away from the semiconductor components, and
wherein the intermediate circuit line forms a loop that at least partially encompasses a portion of the semiconductor components and a segment assigned to this portion of the semiconductor components.
