1. A power electronics assembly comprising:

  • a first support member comprising a first plurality of conductors;

    a first plurality of power switching devices coupled to the first support member;

    a first capacitor coupled to the first support member;

    a second support member comprising a second plurality of conductors;

    a second plurality of power switching devices coupled to the second support member;

    a second capacitor coupled to the second support member,wherein the first and second pluralities of conductors, the first and second pluralities of power switching devices, and the first and second capacitors are electrically connected such that the first plurality of power switching devices is connected in parallel with the first capacitor and the second capacitor and the second plurality of power switching devices is connected in parallel with the second capacitor and the first capacitor; and

    a power bridge interconnecting the first support member and the second support member, wherein the power bridge comprises a first bridge conductor and a second bridge conductor,wherein the first plurality of conductors and the second plurality of conductors each comprise a first conductive member and a second conductive member, andwherein the first bridge conductor electrically interconnects the first conductive members of each of the first and second pluralities of conductors and the second bridge conductor electrically interconnects the second conductive members of each of the first and second pluralities of conductors.
