Claim Text:
1. An inverter device for converting power, the inverter device comprising: a substrate; an upper arm group including a plurality of upper arm elements and serving as an upper arm switching element, wherein the upper arm elements are arranged on the substrate in a single line along a first direction and connected in parallel to each other, a lower arm group including a plurality of lower arm elements and serving as a lower arm switching element, wherein the lower arm elements are arranged on the substrate in a single line along the first direction and connected in parallel to each other; positive and negative input electrodes sandwiching the upper and lower arm groups on the substrate, wherein each of the positive and negative electrodes includes a terminal and a bus bar; and an output electrode sandwiched between the upper arm group and the lower arm group on the substrate, wherein the output electrode includes a terminal and a bus bar, wherein at least one of the bus bars of the positive and negative input electrodes and the output electrode extends so that a longitudinal direction of the bus bar is parallel to the first direction, and at least one of the bus bars of the positive and negative input electrodes and the output electrode has a length in the longitudinal direction that is greater than a width between two ends of the upper arm elements and the lower arm elements in the first direction.
