Patent ID: 11431257

Abstract:
The invention relates to a medium or high voltage converter (2), preferably a modular multilevel converter, as well as to a power module (1), which comprises at least one power semiconductor module (4), at least one energy storage module (5), at least one cooling device (6), and wherein the cooling device (6) is formed as a cooling plate (7) which can be run through by a coolant, in particular flown through by a cooling liquid, and which has a smaller cooling plate thickness (10) as compared to a cooling plate length (8) and a cooling plate height (9) and the cooling plate (7) has at least one support region (12) defined by the cooling plate length (8) and the cooling plate thickness (10) and/or a part of the cooling plate height (9) of the cooling plate (7), for load transfer of the power module (1) onto a rack (3) of the medium or high voltage converter (2).
