Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electric power conversion apparatus includes a stacked body, a capacitor, a metal frame and a case. The stacked body is formed by stacking semiconductor modules with coolant passages formed therebetween. The frame has both the stacked body and the capacitor fixed therein. The case has all of the stacked body, the capacitor and the frame received therein. Further, the frame has a separation wall that separates the stacked body and the capacitor from each other, a stacked body-surrounding wall that surrounds the stacked body with the help of the separation wall, and a capacitor-surrounding that surrounds the capacitor with the help of the separation wall. The capacitor has a pair of end portions that are opposite to each other in a predetermined direction, in which control terminals of the semiconductor modules of the stacked body protrude, and each at least partially exposed from the capacitor-surrounding wall of the frame.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An electric power conversion apparatus comprising: a stacked body that is formed by stacking a plurality of semiconductor modules and has a plurality of coolant passages formed between the semiconductor modules, each of the semiconductor modules including a main body, which has semiconductor elements built therein, and control terminals that protrude from the main body in a predetermined direction; a capacitor configured to smooth DC voltage applied to the…
