CLAMPING ASSEMBLY HAVING A SPRING SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a clamping assembly (1) having an arrangement (2) of mechanically braced components that abut each other so as to form a stack, a spring system and a clamping device for generating a mechanical compressive force on the arrangement (2) of the components. The invention is characterized in that the spring system is a spring plate (3) formed from a plurality of disc spring elements (31) that are arranged next to each other and are connected to each other. In addition, the invention relates to a submodule of a converter having at least one series circuit of power semiconductor switching units and an energy storage device arranged in a parallel circuit thereto, in which the series circuit of the power semiconductor switching units is provided in the clamping device.
