POWER CONVERTER

摘要

Provided is a power converter 3 for direct conversion of multi-phase AC power to AC power, comprising: a conversion circuit having a plurality of first switching means 311, 313, 315 connected to the R, S, and T phases of the multi-phase AC power, and capable of bidirectional switching of energizing current, and a plurality of second switching means 312, 214, 316 connected to the phases and capable of bidirectional switching of energizing current; and output lines 331, 332 connected to the conversion circuit. In the plurality of first switching means and the plurality of second switching means, the respective output terminals are arranged respectively lining up in a row. Two of first output lines 331a, 332a are included that are connected to the output tenninals and lead out in one direction, and that are provided with bus bars of wide shape arranged lining up in an upright direction.
