Abstract: The failure detection device detects failure in switches that are selectively switched between conduction and non-conduction in a current path, and includes: two or more temperature sensors in which a resistance value between terminals changes in accordance with temperature changes, the two or more temperatures sensors being provided near two or more of the switches connected to each other in parallel, and the two or more temperatures sensors being electrically connected in series to each other; a detection unit that detects the combined resistance value of the two or more temperature sensors; and a determination unit that determines, based on a combined resistance value, that one or more of the two or more switches has failed.

Abstract: Provided is a joint structure which is capable of easily preventing relative positional shifting between two members joined by a screw member, and which has favorable workability. The joint structure joins a first member that is provided with a screw hole in which female screw threading is formed and a second member that can be stacked on the first member, by insertion from the second member side of a screw member that has formed thereon male screw threading which screws into the female screw threading. The joint structure is provided with a protruding part that is provided to the first member and that has formed therein a first through hole that guides the screw member into the screw hole. The second member has a width that is smaller than the width of the protruding part, and has formed therein a second through hole which guides the screw member into the screw hole via the first through hole, and a recessed part which accommodates the protruding part.

Abstract: This filter is provided at an AC input/output side of a PWM converter in which a smoothing capacitor and a preliminary charging circuit for preliminary-charging the smoothing capacitor are connected, the filter comprising: a reactor connected in series to the PWM converter; a filter capacitor connected in parallel to the PWM converter; and a switch which electrically connects the reactor to the filter capacitor in a closed state and electrically disconnects the reactor from the filter capacitor in an open state. When power is to be applied to the PWM converter, the switch is in the open state.
