Patent ID: 11424073

Abstract:
A DC link capacitor includes a plurality of wound capacitors, each having a first connection pole and a second connection pole, a first current-tapping element by which the first connection poles are contacted, and a second current-tapping element by which the second connection poles are contacted. First wound capacitors, of the plurality of wound capacitors, are arranged in a first row and oriented such that the first connection poles are arranged on a first side of the DC link capacitor and the second connection poles are arranged on a second side of the DC link capacitor. Second wound capacitors of the plurality of wound capacitors are arranged in a second row, where the first and second rows are arranged parallel to each other in a common plane, and where the second wound capacitors are oriented such that the first connection poles are arranged on the second side of the DC link capacitor and the second connection poles are arranged on the first side of the DC link capacitor.
