Publication number: 20230396183Abstract: This power conversion device includes: a power module unit; and a capacitor module including a capacitor element, and a capacitor busbar. The capacitor busbar has a flat-plate portion, a plurality of power terminal connection portions, a power supply connection portion, and a plurality of element connection portions. An element-connection-portion position range which is a position range in a first direction between two element connection portions located at both ends, and a power-terminal-connection-portion position range which is a position range in the first direction between two power terminal connection portions located at both ends, are within a position range in the first direction where the flat-plate portion is located. A length of the element-connection-portion position range and a length of the power-terminal-connection-portion position range are equivalent to each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2022Publication date: December 7, 2023Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Hiroki KATSUBE, Masakazu TANI, Shota YAMABE, Takuya NAKAMURA

Publication number: 20230291322Abstract: An object is to provide a power conversion device that enables a capacitor element to be efficiently cooled, thus suppressing deterioration of the capacitor element due to heat. The power conversion device includes: a power module including a module body portion storing a semiconductor element, and a power terminal protruding from the module body portion; a capacitor module including a capacitor body portion storing a capacitor element, and a capacitor busbar protruding from the capacitor body portion and connected to the power terminal; and a housing storing the power module and the capacitor module. The housing has a first surface to which the power module is thermally connected, and a second surface to which the capacitor module is thermally connected. A coolant path for cooling the first surface is provided on a back side of the first surface. The capacitor busbar is thermally connected to the first surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2022Publication date: September 14, 2023Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Hiroki KATSUBE, Shota Yamabe, Masakazu Tani
