Abstract: To provide a power conversion device capable of making miniaturization and a stable operation compatible with each other. Therefore, a smoothing capacitor 21 outputs a high-side potential of a DC voltage, and a smoothing capacitor 22 is connected in series with the smoothing capacitor 21 and outputs a low-side potential of the DC voltage. An inverter circuit 103 converts the DC voltage output from the smoothing capacitors 21 and 22 into an AC voltage. A control circuit 104 controls the inverter circuit 103. The inverter circuit 103 is mounted on a main circuit board 61. Each of the smoothing capacitors 21 and 22 is arranged such that an axial direction, which defines its longest size, is substantially parallel to a plane direction of the main circuit board 61. The smoothing capacitor 21 is arranged at a position farther away from the control circuit 104 than the smoothing capacitor 22.
