Abstract
A power converter includes a semiconductor module, a capacitor module, a control board, and an insulating plate. The capacitor module includes a smoothing capacitor, a first connection terminal electrically connected to the smoothing capacitor and a power supply outside the power converter, and a second connection terminal electrically connected to the semiconductor module. The insulating plate is located between the capacitor module and the control board so as to cover at least one of the first connection terminal and the second connection terminal.
Claims11
A power converter comprising:
- a semiconductor module to perform power conversion;
- a capacitor module including a smoothing capacitor, a first connection terminal configured to electrically connect the smoothing capacitor to a power supply outside the power converter, and a second connection terminal electrically connected to the semiconductor module;
- a control board to control the power conversion of the semiconductor module;
- a plate-shaped insulating plate located between the capacitor module and the control board so as to cover at least one of the first connection terminal and the second connection terminal and made of an insulating resin, and
- a housing to house the semiconductor module, the capacitor module, the control board, and the insulating plate so that the semiconductor module, the capacitor module, the control board and the insulating plate are not exposed to outside.
