POWER CONVERTER
First Claim
1. A power converter, comprising:
- a power conversion section that configures a circuit for power conversion;
a power bus bar that extends from the power conversion section;
a terminal block that is located at the side in which the power bus bar is extended from the power conversion section, the terminal block including a mounting surface to which a terminal portion of the power bus bar is mounted;
a current sensor that measures current flowing in the power bus bar,wherein;
the mounting surface faces a direction substantially perpendicular to an arrangement direction in which the power conversion section and the terminal block are arranged;
the current sensor is located at a side of a bottom surface which is a surface on the opposite side of the mounting surface in the terminal block; and
the power bus bar includesa sensor-surrounded portion which is surrounded by the current sensor, andan outer surface faced portion which is located between the sensor-surrounded portion and the terminal portion along an outer surface on the opposite side of the power conversion section.

Abstract
The power converter includes a power conversion section which configures a circuit for power conversion, a power bus bar extending from the power conversion section, a terminal block, and a current sensor measuring current flowing in the power bus bar. The terminal block includes a mounting surface to which a terminal portion of the power bus bar is mounted. The mounting surface faces a direction substantially perpendicular to an arrangement direction in which the power conversion section and the terminal block are arranged. The current sensor is located at a side of a bottom surface on the opposite side of the mounting surface in the terminal block. The power bus bar includes: a sensor-surrounded portion surrounded by the current sensor; and an outer surface faced portion located between the sensor-surrounded portion and the terminal portion along an outer surface on the opposite side of the power conversion section.
