Abstract

A power converter is provided to improve connection reliability of internal components of the power converter. The power converter may include a power semiconductor module that converts DC current into AC current, a casing that forms a housing space for housing the power semiconductor module, an AC relay bus bar that is connected to an AC terminal of the power semiconductor module by weld connection, and an AC terminal block that is connected to an AC terminal of a motor. The AC relay bus bar may be supported by the casing through an insulating member, and the AC terminal block may be connected to the AC relay bus bar and supported by the casing.
