    Abstract: A discharge circuit discharges a smoothing capacitor that smooths a DC voltage through a plurality of resistive elements mounted on a substrate. The discharge circuit includes a series connection of at least three resistive elements spaced apart from each other in a first direction and connected in series by wires. The resistive element positioned more centrally in the first direction, included in the series connection, has a lower resistance value. The resistive elements adjacent to each other in the first direction and included in the series connection are displaced from each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

    Abstract: A control apparatus includes: a control unit that controls torque of a rotating electric machine by performing switching control of an inverter; a temperature sensor that detects a temperature of a temperature detection target which is at least one of the machine and the inverter; and a current sensor that detects electric current flowing through the temperature detection target and has higher responsiveness than the temperature sensor. The control unit includes an overheat protection unit that limits the torque of the machine when the temperature detection target is in an overheated state. The overheat protection unit determines whether the temperature detection target is in the overheated state based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor when an operating point of the machine is within a continuous operation region, and based on the electric current detected by the current sensor when the operating point is within a short-time operation region.
