Drive unit

Abstract

A drive unit includes a rotary electric machine; an inverter used to control the rotary electric machine and a capacitor that smooths a power supply voltage of the inverter; and a case housing the rotary electric machine. A control equipment housing space structured by an inverter housing space portion that houses the inverter and a capacitor housing space portion that houses the capacitor is formed in the case on an outer side of the rotary electric machine in an axial center radial direction of the rotary electric machine. A refrigerant flow chamber through which a refrigerant flows is formed between the control equipment housing space and the rotary electric machine. A capacitor heat exchange fin that performs heat exchange between the capacitor housing space portion and the refrigerant is provided between the capacitor housing space portion and the refrigerant flow chamber.
