Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a power electronics apparatus. The power electronics apparatus includes at least a first electrically conductive element and a second electrically conductive element. The elements are intended to be at a first electrical potential and at a second electrical potential, respectively. At least a first and second power electronics components are mounted on the first and second elements, respectively, a first portion and a second portion of a sink are mounted on the first conductive element and on the second conductive element, respectively, so as to permit the transfer of heat from each power component to the corresponding portion of the sink through the corresponding conductive element. An electrical insulator is present between each portion of the sink so as to prevent the risk of flashover between the two portions.
