Abstract
Abstract A low-inductance bus bar arrangement includes at least n+1 individual bus bars for establishing a quick connection of modular components of n dependent circuits. The n+1 individual bus bars are stacked upon each other and are electrically separated from each other by insulation. The two outermost bus bars are electrically connected to each other by an appropriate connecting device. While the several modular components of the n dependent circuits are quickly connectable to the bus bar, the bus bar itself provides an inherently low inductance.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
In a low-inductance bus bar arrangement (36) used as electrical connection of common components (10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20) of individual circuits (4, 6, 8) of a circuit arrangement (2) having a modular design, particularly a phase component of a converter, wherein the bus bar arrangement (36) has a low-inductance and is comprised of several bus bars (40, 42, 44, 46) which are in a stacked relation to each other and are electrically separated by a means for insulating from each other, the improvement comprising in that for n individual circuits (4, 6, 8) at least n+1 bus bars (40, 42, 44, 46) are provided for connecting said common components (10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20) to one another, said n+1 bus bars including two outer bus bars (44, 46) which are connected to each other in an electrically conducting manner to maintain substantially the same inductance between any two bus bars forming one of said n circuits.
