Abstract:
A device for carrying high currents at a low inductance for a power converter, comprising:two planar electrical conductors that are spaced apart, roughly parallel to each other and insulated from each other; spacing means for establishing the space between the two conductors, said spacing means formed by the two conductors, wherein the spacing means contains a non-solid insulating medium, preferably air, and further wherein the spacing means contains no transition from one of the two conductors to a solid-state insulator, and from there to the second of the two conductors; and connecting means, formed between the edges of the two conductors, wherein the conductors are connected by said connecting means, said connecting means consisting of two connectors situated on the opposite sides of the two conductors outside the spacing means.
