Abstract:
1. A rotary electric machine with a power converter, comprising: a stator that has stator windings; a rotor that has a rotor winding; a rotational position detecting sensor that outputs a rotational position signal of said rotor; a case that contains said stator and said rotor; a field module that is connected to said rotor winding; power modules, each of which is connected to each of said stator windings and has a current detector, a first switching element, and a second switching element; a heat sink that is fixed to said field module and said power modules; and a control substrate that outputs control signals to said field module and said power modules based on the rotational position signal from said rotational position detecting sensor, wherein said first switching element is connected in series to said second switching element; said current detector, said first switching element, and said second switching element are molded with insulating resin; and said current detector is attached in series to said second switching element, and further wherein said power module includes: a first terminal that is joined to a lower surface electrode of said first switching element; a second terminal that is joined to a lower surface electrode of said second switching element; a third terminal that is joined to one end of said current detector; and a fourth terminal that is joined to the other end of said current detector; and said first terminal, said second terminal, said third terminal and said fourth terminal are directly bonded to said heat sink.
