Abstract: A method of reducing thermal stresses of a semiconductor component in a frequency converter, an arrangement in a frequency converter, and a frequency converter, wherein the semiconductor component is attached to a cooling element for cooling the semiconductor component and one or more resistive elements are attached to the cooling element. In the method, the cooling element is heated by the one or more resistive elements attached thereto by supplying current from the frequency converter through the one or more resistive elements for obtaining an elevated lowest temperature for the semiconductor component and thereby reducing the amount of temperature change between the highest and the lowest temperatures in the semiconductor component during use of the frequency converter.

Abstract: The invention relates to a current measuring transducer operating on the compensation principle, comprising two magnetic cores (C1, C2) with windows; windings wound thereon for both a current (Ip) to be measured and for a compensation current (Is); and means (Um, Nm, R1, D, IA) for generating the compensation current and adjusting the magnitude thereof. To compensate for induced interference voltages, a further winding (Nc1, Nc2) is arranged about both magnetic cores of the current transducer. To widen the frequency band, the windings (Nc1, Nc2) are series-connected in a closed loop through a frequency-dependent impedance (Z).
