Abstract:
1. A power converter comprising: a housing, a coolant path structure installed in said housing for forming a coolant path for letting a coolant pass, a capacitor arranged on one side of said coolant path structure in said housing, having a DC terminal, a power semiconductor circuit arranged on the other side of said coolant path structure in said housing, having a DC terminal, an AC terminal, and a power semiconductor chip for converting a direct current supplied from said DC terminal to an alternating current by an operation of said power semiconductor chip and outputting it from said AC terminal, and a first connecting wire for connecting electrically said DC terminal of said capacitor arranged on one side of said coolant path structure to said DC terminal of said power semiconductor circuit arranged on the other side of said coolant path structure by penetrating a hole formed in said coolant path structure, wherein: DC power supplied to said housing is supplied to said DC terminal of said capacitor and to said DC terminal of said power semiconductor circuit, and is converted to AC power by said operation of said semiconductor chip, and said AC power is outputted from said AC terminal of said power semiconductor circuit.
