Abstract
An inverter device including a plurality of switching elements that convert electric power between DC power and AC power, a base plate that includes a surface on which the switching elements are placed, AC terminals through which AC power is input and output to and from an external device and which are electrically connected to the switching elements, and a capacitor that smoothes DC power. The AC terminals are disposed to protrude from the base plate perpendicular to the surface in a first reference direction. The capacitor is disposed in a rectangular area so that long sides of the rectangle are parallel to the first reference direction in plan view, and is set adjacent to a base disposition area, in which the base plate and the AC terminals are disposed in a second reference direction that is a direction perpendicular to the first reference direction.
