Abstract:
1. An inverter device including a plurality of switching elements that convert electric power between DC power and AC power, a base plate that includes an element placing surface on which the plurality of switching elements are placed, AC terminals through which AC power is input and output to and from an external device and which are electrically connected to the switching elements, and a capacitor that smoothes DC power, wherein the AC terminals are disposed so as to protrude from the base plate in a predetermined first reference direction in plan view seen in a direction perpendicular to the element placing surface, the capacitor is disposed in a capacitor disposition area that is set in a rectangular shape in the plan view, and the capacitor disposition area is set so that long sides of the rectangular shape are parallel to the first reference direction in the plan view, and is set adjacent to a base disposition area, in which the base plate and the AC terminals are disposed, in a second reference direction that is a direction perpendicular to the first reference direction.
