1. A power module, comprising:
- a power module case having an upper portion formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape and a lower portion formed in a cylindrical shape;
a motor provided in the lower portion of the power module case having a cylindrical shape and configured to generate a rotational force;
an inverter provided in the upper portion of the power module case having a rectangular parallelepiped shape, disposed at an upper side of the motor and configured to convert a direct current (DC) power into an alternating current (AC) power; and
an AC power conductor provided in the upper portion of the power module case having a rectangular parallelepiped shape and formed in an inverted ‘
L’
shape to connect the inverter to the motor.

Abstract
Provided is a power module in which a motor and a motor driving unit are efficiently configured and a vehicle having the same. The power module includes a power module case forming an external form; an inverter provided within the power module case and configured to convert a direct current (DC) power into an alternating current (AC) power; an AC power conductor provided in the power module case and connected to the inverter to cause the AC power converted by the inverter to flow therethrough; and a motor provided in the power module case and connected to the AC power conductor to receive the AC power and generate a rotational force.
