Abstract

Provided is a power module in which a motor and a motor driving unit are efficiently configured and a vehicle having the same. The power module includes a power module case forming an external form; an inverter provided within the power module case and configured to convert a direct current (DC) power into an alternating current (AC) power; an AC power conductor provided in the power module case and connected to the inverter to cause the AC power converted by the inverter to flow therethrough; and a motor provided in the power module case and connected to the AC power conductor to receive the AC power and generate a rotational force.
