Abstract

The invention provides an installation structure of a semiconductor module for miniaturizing a power conversion unit. The power conversion unit is formed by connecting the semiconductor modules (11, 12) with the same structure in parallel. The semiconductor modules (11, 12) comprise a pair of semiconductor switching elements connected in series; positive terminals (11P, 12P) and negative terminals (11N, 12N) arranged at edges of the semiconductor modules and connected with a pair of semiconductor switching elements; and positive control terminals (11GP, 12GP) and negative control terminals (11GN, 12GN) arranged at opposite edges. A control circuit base plate (2) for each switching element is arranged in a projected region of the semiconductor module (12). Positive control circuits (20P1, 20P2) for controlling the switching element of a positive side are disposed at a side of the negative control terminal (12GN) of the semiconductor module (12). Negative control circuits (20N1, 20N2) for controlling the switching element of a negative side is disposed at a side of the positive control terminal (12GP) of the semiconductor module (12).
