  • Patent number: 11923781
    Abstract: Provided is a power conversion device capable of suppressing an increase in cost and an increase in size of the device. A control board 113 that includes a connection unit 140 to which a signal connector 114 which transmits a signal is connected, a base member 120 that supports the control board 113 and has conductivity, and a case 110 that accommodates the control board 113 and the base member 120 and is connected to a ground is provided. The base member 120 includes a supporting portion 141 that is connected to one surface of the control board 113, and a first extending portion 130 of which one end is connected to the supporting portion 141 and the other end extends to the case 110 to be connected to the case 110. An electronic component 113a that generates noise is mounted on the control board 113, and the first extending portion 130 and the supporting portion 141 form an electrical path.

  • Patent number: 10461656
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a power conversion device which secures insulation and is miniaturized still more without being affected by electromagnetic noises. A power conversion device according to the invention includes a power semiconductor module which converts a DC current into an AC current and includes a DC positive terminal and a DC negative terminal, and a resin cover portion which includes an insulating portion disposed between the DC positive terminal and the DC negative terminal. The cover portion holds a metal member which covers the DC positive terminal and the DC negative terminal.

  • Patent number: 9667040
    Abstract: Inductance is reduced while high insulation reliability between positive and negative electrodes of a DC bus bar is ensured. The DC bus bar 801a (801b) is held; the bus bar 801a (801b) is fixed by an insulating member 802a (802b) having an insulating property, with one surface 14 (15) of the bus bar 801a (801b) exposed; the bus bar 801a is arranged such that the surface 14 of the bus bar 801a faces the surface 15 of the second bus bar 801b; an insulating sheet 803 is held between the bus bar 801a and the bus bar 801b; the first insulating member 802a has a projecting part 804a projecting toward the second insulating member 802b; and the projecting part 804a has, at an end part thereof, an abutting surface 13 in contact with the second insulating member 802b.
