The DC link capacitor is applied from positive to negative after rectification. In a power inverter, a DC link capacitor is placed in parallel with the input to minimize the effects of voltage variations as the load changes. The DC link capacitor also provides a low-impedance path for ripple currents generated by power switching circuits.
