Electric power conversion apparatus

摘要

An electric power conversion apparatus includes: a channel case in which a cooling water channel is formed; a double side cooling semiconductor module 500 that comprises an upper and lower arms series circuit 50 of an inverter circuit 44-46; a capacitor module 390; a direct current connector 38; and an alternate current connector 88. The semiconductormodule 500 comprises a first and a second heat dissipation metals 522, 562 whose outer surfaces are heat dissipation surfaces, the upper and lower arms series circuit 50 is disposed tightly between the first heat dissipation metal 522 and the second heat dissipation metal 562, and the semiconductor module 500 further comprises a direct current positive terminal 57, a direct current negative terminal 58, and an alternate current terminal 59 which protrude to outside. The channel case is provided with the cooling water channel which extends from a cooling water inlet 246 to a cooling water outlet 248, and a first opening 237 which opens into the cooling water channel.
