  • Patent number: 11387219
    Abstract: A power semiconductor module has a first and second intermediate circuit rail, an AC potential rail and with a packaged first and second power semiconductor switch. The respective power semiconductor switch has a first and second load current terminal and a control terminal, wherein the first power semiconductor switch is between the first intermediate circuit rail and the AC potential rail and the second power semiconductor switch is between the second intermediate circuit rail and the AC potential rail. The first load terminal of the first power semiconductor switch is contacted to the first intermediate circuit rail and the second load terminal of the first power semiconductor switch is electrically conductively contacted to the AC potential rail.
    Type: Grant
