Abstract:
An electrical power conversion apparatus is provided which includes a semiconductor module and a plurality of cooling pipes. Each of the cooling pipes has an electrical conductivity and a cooling medium flow path formed therein. Each of the cooling pipes is equipped with a flow path extension forming portion which protrudes above a module body in at least one of height-wise directions and in which a portion of the cooling medium flow path is formed. The flow path extension forming portion overlaps at least either of the power terminals or the control terminals in a stacking direction of the cooling pipes. This enhances the efficiency in decreasing the inductance of the power terminals and/or the control terminals, improves the productivity of the electrical power conversion apparatus, and enables the size of the electrical power conversion apparatus to be reduced.
