Busbar configuration and power converter

Abstract

A busbar configuration 1 comprises a plurality of conductive layers 11, and a plurality of non-conductive layers 12 that are arranged between the conductive layers 11. Plated through-holes (figure 12, 13) electrically contact at least some of the conductive layers 11 with each other. The conductive layers 11 comprise conductive layers 111-115 of different thickness d. The thickness d of the conductive layers 11 may increase from the surface 10 towards the middle 15 of the busbar configuration 1. The busbar configuration 1 may be a laminated busbar configuration, wherein the conductive layers 11 are formed by metal layers (figure 2, 116-119) separated by laminated insulating layers (figure 2, 14). A power converter (figure 5, 2) comprises, in part, a high side voltage rail (figure 5, 3) and / or a low side voltage rail (figure 5, 4) formed by a busbar configuration 1.
