Patent ID: 8257060

Claim:
An inverter-integrated electric compressor in which an inverter accommodating section is provided on a periphery of a housing accommodating an electric motor and a compressing mechanism, and an inverter device that converts DC power supplied from a high-voltage power supply into three-phase AC power and supplies the three-phase AC power to the electric motor is accommodated inside thereof, wherein the inverter device includes an inverter module in which a power-system metal board on which at least semiconductor switching devices are bare-mounted and a CPU board on which is mounted a control and communication circuit having a device operating at low voltage, are modularized via a resin case, wherein the inverter module has a metal shield plate supported by the resin case and interposed between the power-system metal board and the CPU board, wherein the bottom surface of the power-system metal board constitutes a heat sink section in the resin case and is disposed in contact with the outer surface of the housing on which the inverter accommodating section is provided.
