1. A driver assembly coupled to a three-phase inverter, the driver assembly comprising:
- a first set of six of semiconductor switches, wherein the first set of six semiconductor switches are arranged in a plane so that distances between adjacent semiconductor switches are equally large, respectively, and so that each semiconductor switch has the same number of adjacent semiconductor switches, wherein the first set of six semiconductor switches form three half bridges each assigned to one of the three phases, wherein each half bridge is comprised of two of the first set of six semiconductor switches; and
a second set of three additional semiconductor switches, wherein each of the second set of three additional semiconductor switches are electrically coupled to every other second set of three additional semiconductor switches using a joint connecting line, wherein each half bridge is electrically coupled with one of the second set of three additional semiconductor switches, wherein each of the second set of three additional semiconductor switches are arranged in a different plane than the two semiconductor switches forming each half bridge.
