Abstract
A capacitor module having a capacitor and a heater is disclosed. The temperature of the capacitor can be measured by means of a temperature sensor and the temperature of the capacitor is influenced by the heater. The capacitance value changes as a function of the temperature. Thus a circuit apparatus having a resonance converter can be tuned thereby, since the capacitance value can be regulated or controlled.
