POWER MODULE AND ELECTRIC POWER CONVERSION APPARATUS USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To alleviate influence of a magnetic field to a power semiconductor device.SOLUTION: A power module comprises: an insulation substrate 16; a power semiconductor device 14 connected to the insulation substrate 16; a first control electrode 12 electrically connected to an input electrode for a control signal of the power semiconductor device 14; and a second control electrode 11 electrically connected to a reference electrode for a control signal of the power semiconductor device 14. The power module 14 also has a conductor 13 which induces eddy current by a magnetic field generated due to main current flowing through the power semiconductor device and passing between the first control electrode 12 and the second control electrode 11.
