Power converter arrangement with dc link

Abstract

A power converter arrangement includes a DC link having a first phase and a second phase, a power converter connected between the first phase and the second phase so that a separate pair of connection nodes is associated with the power converter, a first DC link capacitor connected between the first phase and the second phase so that the power converter forms a buffer circuit with the first DC link capacitor, a first fuse associated with the power converter and connected within the buffer circuit of the power converter in series with the power converter, and a second DC link capacitor connected in parallel with the power converter within the buffer circuit. The second DC link capacitor is connected via two connection nodes, with one of the two connection nodes being arranged between the first fuse and the power converter.
