Abstract
Disclosed herein are power conversion devices comprising power modules, capacitor modules, and support frames. The power modules may be operable to convert direct current (DC) electricity to alternating current (AC) electricity. The capacitor modules may be electrically connected to the power modules. The support frames may house the power modules and conductor plates, and the capacitor modules may be at least partially wound around exterior sides of the support frames. Such arrangements may advantageously take up less installation space and/or have better form factors than power conversion devices with cylindrical capacitors.
Claims15
A power conversion device for a vehicle comprising:
- a power module operable to convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC);
- a capacitor module electrically connected to the power module;
- and
- a support frame that houses the power module and a conductor plate,
- wherein the capacitor module is at least partially wound around an exterior side of the support frame.
