Abstract
An electric power converter includes a plurality of power modules, a capacitor, a positive bus bar, and a negative bus bar. Each of the power modules includes a positive terminal and a negative terminal on a side facing the capacitor. Leading ends of the positive terminal and negative terminal are parallel to the side. The positive bus bar includes a positive/negative base plate joined to a positive/negative electrode of the capacitor and a positive/negative flange bent from the positive/negative base plate. The positive/negative flange is joined to the positive/negative terminals of the power modules. The positive flange and the negative flange extend in directions away from the capacitor.
