    摘要: A power converter includes a rectifier configured to rectify an AC voltage supplied from an AC power supply, a booster circuit configured to boost the voltage rectified by the rectifier, a smoothing capacitor configured to smooth the voltage output from the booster circuit, a power module configured to convert a DC voltage obtained by smoothing the output voltage by the smoothing capacitor into an AC voltage, and a snubber capacitor configured to absorb a surge voltage superimposed on the DC voltage to be input to the power module. The snubber capacitor is mounted in the power module.

    摘要: A power converter includes a first substrate on which a module including a switching element is mounted, a second substrate on which a smoothing capacitor is mounted, and a terminal block connecting the first substrate and the second substrate, with the first and second substrates located to face each other. The terminal block includes a current path over which at least one of current flowing from the module to the smoothing capacitor and current flowing from the smoothing capacitor to the module flows.
