Abstract: A power conversion apparatus has a positive electrode bus bar and a negative electrode bus bar. The power conversion apparatus has a first semiconductor module incorporating an upper-arm switching element and including a positive electrode terminal and a second semiconductor module incorporating a lower-arm switching element and including a negative electrode terminal. The first semiconductor module and the second semiconductor module are placed such that the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal face each other in a direction orthogonal to a protruding direction. The positive electrode bus bar and the negative electrode bus bar respectively have coexisting parts placed together between the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal as seen in the protruding direction of power terminals. The coexisting parts are at least partially placed in a space between the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal.

Abstract: A power conversion apparatus includes a semiconductor module including a semiconductor device and a control circuit unit controlling the semiconductor module. The semiconductor module has main and subsidiary semiconductor devices connected in parallel. The control circuit unit performs control such that the subsidiary semiconductor device is turned on after the main semiconductor device is turned on, and the main semiconductor device is turned off after the subsidiary semiconductor device is turned off. The control circuit unit performs control such that, one of the turn-on and turn-off switching timings has a switching speed faster than that of the other of the switching timings. The semiconductor module is configured such that, at a high-speed switching timing, an induction current directed to turn off the subsidiary semiconductor device is generated in a control terminal of the subsidiary semiconductor device depending on temporal change of a main current flowing to the main semiconductor device.

Abstract: In a driving apparatus for switches connected in parallel to each other, drivers respectively turn on or off the switches. A temperature obtainer obtains a value of a temperature parameter correlating with a temperature of at least one of the first and second switches. A selector selects at least one of the switches as at least one drive target switch. A driver causes at least one of the drivers to turn on the at least one drive target switch during an on duration and thereafter turn off the at least one drive target switch in each target switching cycle. The selector adjusts the number of the selected at least one drive target switch based on the value of the temperature parameter.

Abstract: The power conversion device has a case, a semiconductor module, a first cooler that cools the semiconductor module from one side, a second cooler that cools the semiconductor module from the back side, and a coupling pipe that couples a flow path of the first cooler with a flow path of the second cooler. A flow rate of the refrigerant is made different between the flow paths, and the flow path having a larger flow rate is larger in cross-sectional area than the flow path having a smaller flow rate. The first cooler having a wider flow path is formed by a part of the case that houses the semiconductor module, and the second cooler having a narrower flow path is housed in the case together with the semiconductor module.

Abstract: A power converter includes an inverter, a converter, an electrical-machine busbar, an electrical-machine sensor, an electrical-machine-sensor housing, a converter, a converter busbar, a converter-sensor housing. The inverter supplies a three-phase alternating current to a rotating electrical machine. The converter converts a voltage between a direct current power supply and the inverter. The electrical-machine busbar passes a current between the inverter and the rotating electrical machine. The electrical-machine sensor detects the current flowing through the electrical-machine busbar based on a magnetic field. The electrical-machine-sensor housing accommodates the electrical-machine sensor and the electrical-machine busbar together. The converter sensor detects the current flowing through the converter based on a magnetic field. The converter-sensor housing is disposed apart from the electrical-machine-sensor housing, and accommodates the converter sensor and the converter busbar together.
