Abstract

The present invention provides a power module, power converter, and vehicular electric machine system capable of reducing inductance of a peripheral section of an output terminal in a power module, and additionally, reducing a surge voltage. A positive emitter conductor 3 connected to an emitter electrode of a positive power semiconductor element Mpu and an output terminal U are electrically interconnected by using a plurality of aluminum wires 7, a negative collector conductor 4 connected to a collector electrode of a negative power semiconductor element Mnu and the output terminal U are electrically interconnected by using a plurality of aluminum wires 9, and the positive emitter conductor 3 connected to the emitter electrode of the positive power semiconductor element Mpu and the negative collector conductor 4 connected to the collector electrode of the negative power semiconductor element Mnu are further electrically interconnected by using a plurality of aluminum wires 8.
