A capacitive winding for a DC link capacitor has a first metallic layer forming the positive potential and a second metallic layer forming the negative potential, and has at least one section that functions as a return path for common mode current, which is formed by at least one of the metallic layers and is galvanically separated therefrom.

A metallized film includes a dielectric film and a metal film. The metal film includes: a larger electrode; two or more columns of smaller electrodes; and a plurality of fuses. Each of the two or more columns of smaller electrodes includes a plurality of smaller electrodes. Each of the fuses connects either the larger electrode and a corresponding one of the smaller electrodes adjacent to the larger electrode or adjacent ones of the smaller electrodes. The number of the fuses connected to each of the smaller electrodes is equal to the number of the fuses connected to any other one of the smaller electrodes. Each of the smaller electrodes included in one of the two or more columns of smaller electrodes that is located closest to the larger electrode is connected to the larger electrode via two or more of the fuses.
