Power module with defined charge-reversal path and production method

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a power module (1) and a power module (1), in particular for a medium or high voltage converter (2), comprising at least one power semiconductor module (3), at least one energy storage module (5), at least one cooling device (7), at least two busbars (10), wherein the cooling device (7) is configured to be electrically conductive and is connected to a protective housing (19) shielding at least the power semiconductor module (3) from the environment, which protective housing (19) has at least one insertion opening (20) for inserting and fastening a connecting element (15), and an electrically conductive connecting element (15) is arranged at a predefinable connection position (16) between at least the cooling device (7) and one of the busbars (10) for forming a defined charge-reversal path (17).
