[0002] An example of a power conversion device is the power supply device disclosed in Patent Document 1. The power supply device includes a common mode choke coil, a control circuit, and a main circuit.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-138338 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] A power converter may have a configuration in which a common mode choke coil is mounted on a substrate in which multiple conductor layers are stacked via an insulating substrate. In such a power converter, a portion of the conductor layer to which the power supply terminal of the common mode choke coil is connected may be arranged opposite another conductor layer in the stacking direction. As a result, parasitic capacitance may be formed between the portion to which the power supply terminal is connected and another conductor layer, and noise may be generated due to this parasitic capacitance.

[0005] One disclosed object is to provide a power conversion device in which noise is suppressed. Another disclosed object is to provide a wiring board in which noise is suppressed. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The power conversion device disclosed herein comprises: A power conversion device including a common mode choke coil (21) and a wiring board (200), and disposed between a power source (60) and a load (50), Common mode choke coils are The power supply side terminals (21b, 21d) and the load side terminals (21c, 21e) are provided, and the power supply side terminals (21b, 21d) are mounted on a wiring board. The wiring board is an insulator (209b); A plurality of conductor layers (201 to 208) stacked with an insulator interposed therebetween, The plurality of conductor layers include: The device has a connecting conductor layer (201) including power supply conductor portions (201P, 11P, 13P, 201N, 11N, 13N) connected to power supply side terminals, and another conductor layer (202) different from the connecting conductor layer, The other conductor layer has other potential portions (202a, 202b) that are at a different potential from the power supply conductor portion, and a non-forming region (21NF) in which no other potential portion is formed in at least a part of the opposing region that faces the power supply conductor portion.

[0007] In this way, the power converter has a non-formation region where no other potential portion is formed in at least a portion of the opposing region of the power conductor portion on the other conductor layer. Therefore, the power converter can reduce the region where the power conductor portion and the other potential portion are arranged opposing each other compared to a configuration without the non-formation region. Therefore, the power converter can reduce the parasitic capacitance formed between the power conductor portion and the other potential portion. Therefore, the power converter can suppress noise caused by the parasitic capacitance.

[0008] The wiring board disclosed herein is A wiring board (200) on which a common mode choke coil (21) is mounted, an insulator (209b); A plurality of conductor layers (201 to 208) stacked with an insulator interposed therebetween, The plurality of conductor layers include: a connecting conductor layer (201) including power supply conductor portions (201P, 11P, 13P, 201N, 11N, 13N) to which a common mode choke coil is connected, and another conductor layer (202) different from the connecting conductor layer; The other conductor layer (202) has other potential portions (202a, 202b) that are at a different potential from the power supply conductor portion, and a non-forming region (21NF) in which the other potential portion is not formed in at least a part of the opposing region that faces the power supply conductor portion.

[0009] The wiring board can achieve the same effects as the power conversion device.

[0030] The inverter 10 has upper and lower arm circuits 11 for a plurality of phases. For example, the inverter 10 has an upper and lower arm circuit 11 for each of the U phase, V phase, and W phase. The upper and lower arm circuits 11 are sometimes referred to as legs. The upper and lower arm circuit 11 has an upper arm 12 and a lower arm 13.

[0034] Each of the upper arm 12 and the lower arm 13 has a plurality of arm switches 14 and diodes 15. In each of the upper arm 12 and the lower arm 13, a plurality of arm switches 14 are connected in parallel, and a plurality of diodes 15 are connected in parallel. In each of the arms 12 and 13, one arm switch 14 and one diode 15 constitutes one set, and multiple sets are connected in parallel.

[0035] For example, six arm switches 14 and six diodes 15 are connected in parallel in each of the upper arm 12 and the lower arm 13. In order to avoid cluttering the drawing, Fig. 1 shows three arm switches 14 and three diodes 15 connected in parallel. The number of units connected in parallel is not limited to six.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as an example, an inverter device 80 is employed that has a motor current sensor 36 and a battery current sensor 35.

The drive circuit 41 can drive the arm switch 14 in an on state and an off state. The drive circuit 41 may be referred to as a driver.

[0042] <Arrangement and Housing of EPU> As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in the EPU 70, the motor device 50 and the inverter device 80 are arranged along the motor axis Cm. The motor device 50 and the inverter device 80 are fixed to each other by a fixture such as a bolt.

[0043] The motor device 50 and the inverter device 80 are each formed in a columnar shape as a whole. The EPU 70 is multi-stage in the axial direction AD with respect to the motor device 50 and the inverter device 80. In the EPU 70, two columnar devices, namely the motor device 50 and the inverter device 80, are stacked in the axial direction AD.

[0044] The axial direction AD is the direction in which the motor axis Cm extends. For the motor axis Cm, the axial direction AD, the radial direction RD, and the circumferential direction CD are orthogonal to each other (see FIG. 5). Note that the outside in the radial direction RD may be referred to as the outer radial direction, and the inside in the radial direction RD may be referred to as the inner radial direction.

[0045] The motor axis Cm is the center line of the motor 51 and is a virtual line extending linearly. The rotor rotates about the motor axis Cm with respect to the stator. In the motor 51, the stator and the rotor are arranged along the motor axis Cm in the axial direction AD. For example, a stator is provided between two rotors in the axial direction AD.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 3, the motor housing 90a is formed in an overall cylindrical shape and extends along the motor axis Cm.

Multiple motor fins 90a3 are arranged in the circumferential direction CD. The motor fins 90a3 are fins for cooling the motor device 50 and are sometimes referred to as cooling fins. The outer peripheral surface 90a1 is a surface for cooling the motor device 50 and is sometimes referred to as a cooling surface. The motor device 50 is an air-cooled device.

[0048] As shown in Fig. 3, the inverter housing 90b is formed into a cylindrical shape as a whole and extends along an inverter axis Ci. The inverter axis Ci is the center line of the inverter housing 90b. The inverter axis Ci coincides with the motor axis Cm. The inverter housing 90b is made of a metal material or the like and has thermal conductivity.

[0049] The inverter housing 90b has an outer peripheral surface 90b1 and an inner peripheral surface 90b5 (see FIG. 5). The outer peripheral surface 90b1 is included in the outer surface of the inverter housing 90b and extends annularly in the circumferential direction CD. The inner peripheral surface 90b5 is included in the inner surface of the inverter housing 90b and extends annularly in the circumferential direction CD.

[0050] The inverter housing 90b has an inverter outer peripheral wall 90b2 and inverter fins 90b3. The inverter outer peripheral wall 90b2 extends in an annular shape around the inverter axis Ci. The inverter outer peripheral wall 90b2 has an outer peripheral surface 90b1 and an inner peripheral surface 90b5 that are formed in an annular shape.

[0051] The inverter fins 90b3 are heat dissipation fins provided on the outer peripheral surface 90b1. The inverter fins 90b3 increase the surface area of ​​the inverter housing 90b, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation effect of the inverter housing 90b. The inverter fins 90b3 protrude radially outward from the outer peripheral surface 90b1. The inverter fins 90b3 extend in the axial direction AD along the outer peripheral surface 90b1. A plurality of inverter fins 90b3 are arranged in the circumferential direction CD. The inverter fins 90b3 are fins for cooling the inverter device 80 and are sometimes referred to as cooling fins. The outer peripheral surface 90b1 is a surface for cooling the inverter device 80 and is sometimes referred to as a cooling surface. The inverter device 80 is an air-cooled device.

[0052] Furthermore, the inverter housing 90b has an inverter connector 90b4. The inverter connector 90b4 covers the power line 310 and the output line 320. The power line 310 and the output line 320 can be connected to external devices via the inverter connector 90b4. The external devices include the battery 60 and the motor 51.

[0053] The power line 310 and the output line 320 are connected to the high voltage board 200. The power line 310 has an electrical wiring that forms a P line 31 and an electrical wiring that forms an N line 32.

[0054] The power line 310 is connected to the battery 60 via an inverter connector 90b4. A battery current sensor 35 is provided for the power line 310. The output line 320 is connected to the motor 51 via the inverter connector 90b4. An output line 320 is provided for each of the multiple phases. A motor current sensor 36 is provided for the output line 320.

[0055] As described above, both the motor device 50 and the inverter device 80 are air-cooled devices. That is, the EPU 70 is also an air-cooled device. For example, a blower fan is provided for the EPU 70. The blower fan is arranged on the EPU 70, for example, along the motor axis Cm, and blows air in the axial direction AD toward the EPU 70. The air from the blower fan flows along the plate surfaces of the motor fins 90a3 and the inverter fins 90b3, thereby cooling the motor device 50 and the inverter device 80.

[0056] As shown in FIG. 2, the EPU 70 has a unit duct 71. The unit duct 71 is made of a resin material or the like. The unit duct 71 houses a motor housing 90a and an inverter housing 90b. The unit duct 71 is formed into a cylindrical shape as a whole and extends along the motor axis Cm. The unit duct 71 spans between the motor housing 90a and the inverter housing 90b in the axial direction AD. The unit duct 71 covers the motor housing 90a and the inverter housing 90b from their outer peripheries. The unit duct 71 is fixed to at least one of the motor housing 90a and the inverter housing 90b. Openings are formed in the unit duct 71 at both ends in the axial direction AD.

[0057] The inner peripheral surface of unit duct 71 faces outer peripheral surfaces 90a1, 90b1 via motor fins 90a3 and inverter fins 90b3. The inner peripheral surface of unit duct 71 is spaced radially outward from outer peripheral surfaces 90a1, 90b1. In EPU 70, a duct flow path is formed between outer peripheral surfaces 90a1, 90b1 and the inner peripheral surface of unit duct 71. This duct flow path opens in the axial direction AD through an opening in unit duct 71. In EPU 70, gas such as cooling air passes through the duct flow path, which facilitates heat release from motor fins 90a3 and inverter fins 90b3.

[0058] The inner circumferential surface of unit duct 71 is close to or in contact with the tip surfaces of motor fins 90a3 and inverter fins 90b3. In this configuration, gas passing through the duct flow path in the axial direction AD tends to pass through positions that overlap with the motor fins 90a3 and inverter fins 90b3 in the radial direction RD. This tends to improve the heat dissipation effect of the motor fins 90a3 and inverter fins 90b3.

[0059] <Inverter device board> Here, the boards 200, 300, and 400 of the inverter device 80 will be described. The inverter device 80 has a high-voltage board 200, a control board 300, and a drive board 400. The boards 200, 300, and 400 are fixed to a component support portion provided in the inverter housing 90b. Current sensors 35, 36, etc. are also fixed to the component support portion.

[0060] High voltage board 200 is a circuit board to which a high voltage is applied. The high voltage is a voltage for driving inverter 10. In inverter device 80, the voltage applied to P line 31 is a high voltage. High voltage board 200 will be described in detail later.

[0061] Control board 300 is a circuit board that constitutes control circuit 42. Drive board 400 is a circuit board that constitutes drive circuit 41. Control board 300 and drive board 400 are low-voltage boards to which a low voltage is applied. The low voltage is a voltage for driving control circuit 42 and drive circuit 41. In inverter device 80, the voltage applied to control circuit 42 and drive circuit 41 is a low voltage. Boards 200, 300, and 400 are sometimes referred to as electric wiring boards and circuit boards.

[0062] The high-voltage board 200, the control board 300, and the drive board 400 are all formed in a flat plate shape and extend in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction AD. The boards 200, 300, and 400 can also be said to extend in an annular shape centered on the inverter axis Ci. The boards 200, 300, and 400 are formed in a circular plate shape as a whole. The boards 200, 300, and 400 are arranged in the axial direction AD with their respective plate surfaces facing each other. In the axial direction AD, for example, the control board 300 is provided between the high-voltage board 200 and the drive board 400. In the inverter device 80, the side of the high-voltage board 200 in the axial direction AD is referred to as the high-voltage side, and the side of the control board 300 is referred to as the low-voltage side. The motor device 50 is provided, for example, on the high-voltage side of the inverter device 80.

[0063] 5 and 6, the substrates 200, 300, 400 have inner peripheral ends 211, 311, 411 and outer peripheral ends 212, 312, 412. The inner peripheral ends 211, 311 of the high-voltage substrate 200 and the control substrate 300 are aligned in the axial direction AD. The high-voltage substrate 200 and the control substrate 300 are provided with substrate openings 213, 313. The substrate openings 213, 313 penetrate the substrates 200, 300 in the axial direction AD and form the inner peripheral ends 211, 311.

[0064] The outer peripheral ends 212, 312 of the high-voltage board 200 and the control board 300 are located at a position spaced radially inward from the inner peripheral surface 90b5. A gap is formed between the high-voltage board 200 and the control board 300 and the inverter outer peripheral wall 90b2. This gap extends in an annular shape in the circumferential direction CD. The outer peripheral ends 212, 312 of the high-voltage board 200 and the control board 300 are aligned in the axial direction AD along the inner peripheral surface 90b5.

[0065] The drive substrate 400 is smaller than the high-voltage substrate 200 and the control substrate 300. An outer peripheral end 412 of the drive substrate 400 is located radially inward from the outer peripheral ends 212, 312 of the high-voltage substrate 200 and the control substrate 300. A substrate opening 413 is provided in the drive substrate 400. The substrate opening 413 penetrates the drive substrate 400 in the axial direction AD and forms an inner peripheral end 411. The substrate opening 413 of the drive substrate 400 is smaller than the substrate openings 213, 313 of the high-voltage substrate 200 and the control substrate 300. The inner peripheral end 411 of the drive substrate 400 is located radially inward from the inner peripheral ends 211, 311 of the high-voltage substrate 200 and the control substrate 300.

[0066] The inverter device 80 has a fan device 91. The fan device 91 is a blower that can send air. The fan device 91 has a fan unit that sends air by rotating, and a drive unit that drives and rotates the fan unit. The drive unit is configured to include an electric motor, etc.

[0067] The high-voltage substrate 200 will now be described with reference to Figs. 4 to 9. Fig. 4 is a diagram mainly showing the layered relationship between the conductor layers 201 to 208 and the insulating substrate 209b of the high-voltage substrate 200. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the mounting surface side of the high-voltage substrate 200. In Figs. 7 to 9, parts of the conductor layers 201 to 208 are hatched to make them easier to understand. Note that the configurations of the conductor layers 201 to 208 are merely examples, and other configurations may be used.

[0068] As shown in Fig. 5, at least some of the circuit elements constituting the inverter device 80 are mounted on the high-voltage board 200. In this embodiment, as an example, the high-voltage board 200 is used, on which the EMC filter 20 and the smoothing capacitor 34 are mounted. That is, the high-voltage board 200 is mounted with the common coil 21, the normal mode coil 22, the Y capacitor 23, the X capacitor 24, the varistor 25, and the smoothing capacitor 34. Furthermore, the high-voltage board 200 may be mounted with current sensors 35 and 36. Note that the circuit elements are mounted on the first conductor layer 201 side of the high-voltage board 200. Therefore, the surface of the high-voltage board 200 facing the first conductor layer 201, not the eighth conductor layer 208, is the mounting surface.

[0069] The arm switches 14 are not mounted on the high-voltage board 200. This point will be explained below. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the inverter device 80 includes a U-phase arm 17U, a V-phase arm 17V, and a W-phase arm 17W. The U-phase arm 17U corresponds to the U-phase upper and lower arm circuit 11. The U-phase arm 17U includes a U-phase upper arm 12U and a U-phase lower arm 13U. The U-phase upper arm 12U corresponds to the U-phase upper arm 12. The U-phase lower arm 13U corresponds to the U-phase lower arm 13. The U-phase upper arm 12U includes six arm switch units 16. The U-phase lower arm 13U includes six arm switch units 16.

[0070] The arm switch section 16 has arm switches 14, diodes 15, and a protection section that protects them. Six arm switch sections 16 are collectively referred to as a switch group 16G. The six arm switch sections 16 correspond to the six arm switches 14 connected in parallel.

[0071] V-phase arm 17V corresponds to V-phase upper and lower arm circuit 11. V-phase arm 17V has V-phase upper arm 12V and V-phase lower arm 13V. V-phase upper arm 12V corresponds to V-phase upper arm 12. V-phase lower arm 13V corresponds to V-phase lower arm 13. V-phase upper arm 12V has six arm switch units 16. V-phase lower arm 13V has six arm switch units 16.

[0072] W-phase arm 17W corresponds to W-phase upper and lower arm circuit 11. W-phase arm 17W has W-phase upper arm 12W and W-phase lower arm 13W. W-phase upper arm 12W corresponds to W-phase upper arm 12. W-phase lower arm 13W corresponds to W-phase lower arm 13. W-phase upper arm 12W has six arm switch units 16. W-phase lower arm 13W has six arm switch units 16.

[0073] 5, the arm switch units 16 are arranged in the circumferential direction CD along the inner peripheral surface 90b5. The arm switch units 16 are arranged along the outer peripheral ends 212, 312 of the high-voltage board 200 and the control board 300. The arm switch units 16 are also provided in sections corresponding to the phase arms 17U, 17V, and 17W.

[0074] As described above, this embodiment employs an inverter device 80 in which the arm switch unit 16 is attached to the inverter housing 90b. The gate electrode of the arm switch unit 16 is connected to the control board 300 via terminals. The source electrode and drain electrode of the arm switch unit 16 are connected to the high-voltage board 200 via terminals. However, the arm switch unit 16 may be mounted on the high-voltage board 200.

[0075] As shown in Fig. 4, the high-voltage substrate 200 includes an electrically insulating substrate 209b and conductive conductor layers 201-208. The multiple conductor layers 201-208 are stacked with the insulating substrate 209b interposed therebetween. The high-voltage substrate 200 has a solder resist 209a provided on its surface. That is, the conductor layers 201 and 208 are partially covered with the solder resist 209a. The insulating substrate 209b corresponds to an insulator. The arrangement order of the conductor layers 201-208 in the stacking direction is not particularly limited. The stacking direction coincides with the inverter axis Ci.

[0076] The conductor layers 201 to 208 are mainly composed of metals such as copper and aluminum. The conductor layers 201 to 208 are patterned conductors. The conductor layers 201 to 208 are foil-shaped conductors or plate-shaped conductors. Plate-shaped conductors are conductor plates that are significantly thicker than foil-shaped conductors. The first conductor layer 201 and the eighth conductor layer 208 can also be called surface conductor layers. The second conductor layer 202 to the seventh conductor layer 207 can also be called inner conductor layers.

[0077] The conductor layers 201-208 are wiring sections including lands and pattern wiring. Furthermore, the insulating substrate 209b is provided with interlayer connections that connect the conductor layers 201-208 of different layers. The interlayer connections are through holes, vias, etc. The interlayer connections can also be considered as part of the wiring section. The lands are provided so as to surround the open ends of the through holes and are connected to the through holes. Therefore, the lands can also be considered as part of the interlayer connections. The through holes are conductors provided on the surface of the through holes of the insulating substrate 209b.

[0078] 4 is a cross-sectional view showing only a portion where the conductor layers 201 to 208 are one layer. However, each of the conductor layers 201 to 208 includes portions at different potentials. For example, the first conductor layer 201 includes a portion at ground potential and a portion at a different potential.

[0079] The conductor layers 201 to 208, together with the circuit elements of the arm switch 14, the diode 15, the EMC filter 20, and the smoothing capacitor 34, constitute the circuit shown in Fig. 1. The conductor layers 201 to 208 are also connected to the conductor layers 201 to 208 on different layers via inter-layer connections to constitute the circuit of Fig. 1. Note that the inter-layer connections are omitted in Fig. 4.

[0080] First, the first conductor layer 201, the eighth conductor layer 208, the common coil 21, and the varistor 25 will be described with reference to Figures 7, 10, and 11. The first conductor layer 201 and the eighth conductor layer 208 have the same configuration. The following description will be given using the first conductor layer 201.

[0081] Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the first conductor layer 201 and the eighth conductor layer 208. Figs. 10 and 11 are enlarged views of the portion of the first conductor layer 201 where the common coil 21 is mounted and the surrounding area. The portions shown in Figs. 10 and 11 are also referred to as the mounted area of ​​the first conductor layer 201. Fig. 10 shows the first conductor layer 201 in a state where the circuit elements of the EMC filter 20 and the smoothing capacitor 34 are not mounted. Fig. 11 shows the first conductor layer 201 in a state where the common coil 21 is mounted.

[0082] As shown in Fig. 10, the varistor 25 has a first terminal 251 and a second terminal 252. As shown in Fig. 11, the common coil 21 has a main body 21a including a core, power supply side terminals 21b and 21d, and load side terminals 21c and 21e. A P-side coil connected to a P line 31 and an N-side coil connected to an N line 32 are wound around the core. The power supply side terminal 21b is the terminal of the P-side coil on the battery 60 side. The power supply side terminal 21d is the terminal of the N-side coil on the battery 60 side. The load side terminal 21c is the terminal of the P-coil on the motor 51 side. The load side terminal 21e is the terminal of the N-coil on the motor 51 side.

[0083] 7, 10, and 11, the first conductor layer 201 has a ground bus bar 201G, which is a portion at ground potential, a plurality of lands 5-7, 11P-14P, and 11N-14N, and power supply side patterns 201P and 201N. The plurality of lands 5-7, 11P-14P, and 11N-14N and power supply side patterns 201P and 201N are portions that are not at ground potential. The ground bus bar 201G can also be said to be a ground wiring portion.

[0084] The ground bus bar 201G corresponds to a ground conductor portion. The first conductor layer 201 corresponds to a connecting conductor layer. In this embodiment, the first conductor layer 201 is used as an example of a connecting conductor layer. However, the connecting conductor layer may be any conductor layer having the power supply side patterns 201P and 201N. In other words, the connecting conductor layer may be at least one of the inner conductor layers.

[0085] The eighth conductor layer 208 can be considered a connecting conductor layer because it has the same configuration as the first conductor layer 201. The eighth conductor layer 208 may also be configured without the power supply side patterns 201P and 201N, for example. In this case, the eighth conductor layer 208 has a different shape from the first conductor layer 201 and does not correspond to a connecting conductor layer.

[0086] As shown in Fig. 7, the ground bus bar 201G is provided in a ring shape. In Fig. 7, the lands 5 and the like on the first conductor layer 201 are omitted from illustration to avoid the drawing becoming too complicated.

[0087] Land 5 is connected to a smoothing capacitor 34. Land 6 is connected to the source electrode and drain electrode of the arm switch 14. Land 7 is connected to the output connection portion 203a of the output bus bar 206. Lands 5 to 7 are separated from the ground bus bar 201G. Separated means that they are adjacent to each other with air or a part of the insulating substrate 209b in between. Separated also means that they are provided with an insulating distance between them. Lands 5 to 7 are connected to a conductive layer different from the first conductor layer 201.

[0088] 10 and 11, the land 11P is connected to the power supply terminal 21b. A power supply pattern 201P, which is part of the first conductor layer 201, is provided around the land 11P. The land 11P and the power supply pattern 201P are provided adjacent to each other.

[0089] The land 11N is connected to the power supply terminal 21d. A power supply pattern 201N, which is a part of the first conductor layer 201, is provided around the land 11N. The land 11N and the power supply pattern 201N are provided contiguously.

[0090] Lands 11P and 11N are connected to a conductive layer different from first conductive layer 201. Land 11P, power supply side pattern 201P, land 11N, and power supply side pattern 201N are separated by ground bus bar 201G.

[0091] Land 11P, power supply side pattern 201P, land 11N, and power supply side pattern 201N correspond to the power supply conductor portion. Land 11P and power supply side pattern 201P can also be said to be the P-side power supply conductor portion. Land 11N and power supply side pattern 201N can also be said to be the N-side power supply conductor portion. The P-side power supply conductor portion includes land 13P, which will be described later. The N-side power supply conductor portion includes land 13N, which will be described later.

[0092] 11, at least a portion of the power supply conductor portion is disposed opposite the common coil 21 in the stacking direction. In other words, at least a portion of the power supply conductor portion is provided in the opposing region of the common coil 21 in the stacking direction. This allows the common coil 21 to be disposed near the power supply conductor portion. As a result, the inverter device 80 and the high-voltage board 200 can reduce parasitic capacitance and improve EMC performance.

[0093] The land 12P is connected to the load-side terminal 21c. The land 12N is connected to the load-side terminal 21e. The lands 12P and 12N are separated by the ground bus bar 201G. The lands 12P and 12N are connected to a conductive layer different from the first conductor layer 201.

[0094] The land 13P is connected to the first terminal 251 of the varistor 25 on the P line 31 side. The land 14P is connected to the second terminal 252 of the varistor 25 on the P line 31 side. The land 13N is connected to the first terminal 251 of the varistor 25 on the N line 31 side. The land 14N is connected to the second terminal 252 of the varistor 25 on the N line 31 side.

[0095] The land 13P and the power supply side pattern 201P are provided adjacent to each other. The land 13N and the power supply side pattern 201N are provided adjacent to each other. The lands 14P and 14N and the ground bus bar 201G are provided adjacent to each other.

[0096] Next, the second conductor layer 202, the fourth conductor layer 204, the fifth conductor layer 205, and the seventh conductor layer 207 will be described with reference to Figures 8 and 12. Figure 8 is a perspective view of the second conductor layer 202 and the fourth conductor layer 204. In Figure 8, to avoid cluttering the drawing, the lands 5 and the like on the second conductor layer 202 are omitted.

[0097] The second conductor layer 202 and the fifth conductor layer 205 are layers that have the same potential and have the same shape. The fourth conductor layer 204 and the seventh conductor layer 207 are layers that have the same potential and have the same shape. These conductor layers 202, 204, 205, and 207 have the same shape. Therefore, FIG. 8 illustrates the second conductor layer 202 and the fourth conductor layer 204.

[0098] The second conductor layer 202 has N bus bars 202a and 202b that are part of the N line 32, a plurality of lands, and the like. The N bus bar 202a is an annular outer circumferential N bus bar 202a. The N bus bar 202b is an annular inner circumferential N bus bar 202b. The N bus bars 202a and 202b have a different potential from the power supply conductor portion of the first conductor layer 201. The N bus bars 202a and 202b correspond to the other potential portion.

[0099] The fourth conductor layer 204 has P bus bars 204a and 204b that are part of the P line 31, a plurality of lands, etc. The P bus bar 204a is an annular outer peripheral P bus bar 204a. The P bus bar 204b is an annular inner peripheral P bus bar 204b. The P bus bars 204a and 204b have a different potential from the power supply conductor portion of the first conductor layer 201. The P bus bars 204a and 204b correspond to the other potential portion.

[0100] The second conductor layer 202 corresponds to the other conductor layer. The other conductor layer may be the fourth conductor layer 204, the fifth conductor layer 205, or the seventh conductor layer 207. Furthermore, the other conductor layer may be the third conductor layer 203 or the sixth conductor layer 206, which will be described later. In other words, the other conductor layer is at least one of the second conductor layer 202 to the seventh conductor layer 207.

[0101] The second conductor layer 202 will now be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13. FIG. 12 shows the opposing region of the second conductor layer 202 to the mounted region of the first conductor layer 201 (FIGS. 10 and 11). FIG. 13 shows the opposing region of the N-side power supply conductor portion and its periphery on the second conductor layer 202. In FIG. 13, the opposing region of the N-side power supply conductor portion is indicated by a two-dot chain line. Note that in FIG. 13, land 11N is illustrated larger than land 21N, and land 13N is illustrated larger than land 23N. However, land 21N and land 11N are equivalent in size. Land 23N and land 13N are also equivalent in size. Lands 21P, 23P, 21N, and 23N correspond to opposing conductor portions.

[0102] As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the second conductor layer 202 has a plurality of lands 5 to 7, 21P to 24P, 21N to 24N, and the like.

[0103] Lands 5 to 7 on second conductor layer 202 are portions that are connected between layers to lands 5 to 7 on first conductor layer 201. Lands 5 and 7 on second conductor layer 202 are separated from periphery N bus bar 202a. On the other hand, land 6 on second conductor layer 202 is provided so as to be continuous with periphery N bus bar 202a.

[0104] Land 21P is connected to land 11P via an interlayer connection. Land 22P is connected to land 12P via an interlayer connection. Land 23P is connected to land 13P via an interlayer connection. Land 24P is connected to land 14P via an interlayer connection. Lands 21P to 24P are separated by inner circumferential N bus bar 202b.

[0105] Land 21N is connected to land 11N via an interlayer connection. Land 22N is connected to land 12N via an interlayer connection. Land 23N is connected to land 13N via an interlayer connection. Land 24N is connected to land 14N via an interlayer connection. Lands 21N, 23N, and 24N are separated from the inner circumferential N bus bar 202b. Land 22N is provided so as to be continuous with the inner circumferential N bus bar 202b.

[0106] 13, the second conductor layer 202 has an inner circumferential N bus bar 202b and a non-forming region 21NF. The non-forming region 21NF is a region where the N bus bars 202a, 202b are not formed. The non-forming region 21NF is provided in at least a part of the opposing region facing the N-side power supply conductor portion. In this embodiment, an example is adopted in which the non-forming region 21NF is provided in the entire opposing region facing the N-side power supply conductor portion.

[0107] The facing region of the N-side power conductor is the region facing the N-side power conductor in the stacking direction. The facing region of the N-side power conductor can also be considered as the projected region of the N-side power conductor in the stacking direction. The facing region of the N-side power conductor includes the facing region of the land 11N, the facing region of the power-side pattern 201N, and the facing region of the land 13N.

[0108] The non-forming region 21NF is a region where the N bus bars 202a, 202b are not formed, and where the portions connected to the N-side power supply conductor portion and the insulating substrate 209b are formed. That is, the non-forming region 21NF is formed with the lands 21N, 23N and the insulating substrate 209b. The land 21N is formed in the region facing the land 11N. The land 23N is formed in the region facing the land 13N. The insulating substrate 209b is formed in the region facing the power supply side pattern 201N. Therefore, no conductor is provided in the region facing the power supply side pattern 201N.

[0109] The opposing region of the power supply conductor portion may be provided in the peripheral N bus bar 202a. The second conductor layer 202 may have a non-forming region 21NF in at least a part of the opposing region of the P-side power supply conductor portion. That is, the second conductor layer 202 has N bus bars 202a, 202b and a non-forming region 21NF where the N bus bars 202a, 202b are not formed in at least a part of the opposing region of the power supply conductor portion. Furthermore, other potential portions having a different potential from the power supply conductor portion and non-forming region 21NF may be provided in the other conductor layers 203 to 207. The same applies to the modified examples described below.

[0110] Next, the third conductor layer 203 and the sixth conductor layer 206 will be described with reference to Fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the third conductor layer 203 and the sixth conductor layer 206. In Fig. 9, to avoid cluttering the drawing, lands and the like in the third conductor layer 203 and the sixth conductor layer 206 are omitted from the illustration. The third conductor layer 203 and the sixth conductor layer 206 have the same configuration.

[0111] The third conductor layer 203 has an output bus bar that is part of the output line 33 and a plurality of lands. The sixth conductor layer 206 has an output bus bar that is part of the output line 33 and a plurality of lands. Hereinafter, for convenience, the third conductor layer 203 and the sixth conductor layer 206 will be referred to as output bus bars 203, 206.

[0112] The output bus bars 203, 206 are provided corresponding to each of the multiple phases. For example, the multiple output bus bars 203 include output bus bars 203 corresponding to each of the U phase, V phase, and W phase. The output bus bars 203 of each phase are separated from each other.

[0113] Each output bus bar 203 has an output connection portion 203a. Each output connection portion 203a is individually connected to a corresponding output line 320. For example, the U-phase output bus bar 203 is connected to the U-phase coil of the motor 51 via the output connection portion 203a and the output line 320.

[0114] <Effects> As described above, the inverter device 80 has a non-forming region 21NF where the N bus bars 202a, 202b are not formed in at least a part of the opposing region of the power supply conductor portion. The opposing region is part of the second conductor layer 202. Therefore, the inverter device 80 can reduce the region where the power supply conductor portion and the N bus bars 202a, 202b are arranged opposingly compared to a configuration that does not have the non-forming region 21NF. Note that a configuration that does not have the non-forming region 21NF is one in which the N bus bars 202a, 202b are formed over the entire opposing region of the power supply conductor portion on the second conductor layer 202.

[0115] Therefore, the inverter device 80 can reduce the parasitic capacitance formed between the power supply conductor portion and the N bus bars 202a, 202b. Therefore, the inverter device 80 can suppress noise caused by the parasitic capacitance. Furthermore, the inverter device 80 has a non-forming region 21NF provided over the entire opposing region of the N-side power supply conductor portion. Therefore, the inverter device 80 can reduce the parasitic capacitance more than a configuration in which the N bus bars 202a, 202b are formed in only part of the opposing region of the power supply conductor portion.

[0116] Furthermore, the inverter device 80 does not need to take measures against noise caused by parasitic capacitance, which prevents the EMC filter 20 from becoming large. Therefore, the inverter device 80 can prevent the inverter device 80 from becoming large in size.

[0117] Note that the high-voltage board 200 can suppress noise caused by parasitic capacitance, similar to the inverter device 80. Therefore, the high-voltage board 200 can suppress an increase in size.

[0118] (Variation 1) As shown in Fig. 14, the second conductor layer 202 has an opposing conductor pattern 21NC disposed opposite the power supply side pattern 201N. Fig. 14 is a drawing corresponding to Fig. 13. Modifications 1 to 3 will be described using the power supply side pattern 201N side, but the same applies to the power supply side pattern 201P side.

[0119] The opposing conductor pattern 21NC is provided over the entire opposing area of ​​the power supply side pattern 201N. The opposing area here is an area that faces the power supply side pattern 201N in the stacking direction.

[0120] The opposing conductor pattern 21NC is provided contiguous to the land 21N. Therefore, the opposing conductor pattern 21NC has the same potential as the power supply side pattern 201N. The non-forming area 21NF is provided with only the lands 21P, 23P, 21N, and 23N connected to the N-side power supply conductor portion and the opposing conductor pattern 21NC. In other words, the non-forming area 21NF is not provided with the N bus bars 202a and 202b or the insulating substrate 209b. The opposing conductor pattern 21NC corresponds to the opposing conductor portion.

[0121] Therefore, the inverter device 80 can reduce the parasitic capacitance more than a configuration in which the N bus bars 202a, 202b are formed in part of the opposing region of the power supply conductor portion.

[0122] (Variation 2) 15, the second conductor layer 202 has a dummy pattern 21ND disposed opposite the power supply side pattern 201N. FIG. 15 is a view corresponding to FIG.

[0123] The dummy pattern 21ND is provided in at least a part of the opposing area of ​​the power supply side pattern 201N. The opposing area is the same as the opposing area in the first modification.

[0124] The dummy pattern 21ND is separated from the N bus bars 202a, 202b and the land 21N. The dummy pattern 21ND can also be said to be a conductor that has no potential. The non-forming region 21NF is provided with lands 21P, 23P, 21N, 23N connected to the N-side power supply conductor portion, and the dummy pattern 21ND. The dummy pattern 21ND corresponds to a dummy conductor portion. The inverter device 80 and the high-voltage substrate 200 can achieve the same effects as the above embodiment.

[0125] (Variation 3) An inner circumferential N bus bar 202b may be provided in a part of the opposing region of the N-side power supply conductor portion, as shown in Fig. 16. Fig. 16 is a view corresponding to Fig. 13.

[0126] The inner circumferential N bus bar 202b may be provided in a part of the opposing area of ​​the N-side power supply conductor portion. The area where the inner circumferential N bus bar 202b is provided is, for example, about 10% of the opposing area. In other words, the non-forming area 21NF does not have to be provided in the entire opposing area of ​​the N-side power supply conductor portion. The inverter device 80 can reduce the parasitic capacitance formed between the power supply conductor portion and the N bus bars 202a, 202b compared to a configuration without the non-forming area 21NF, and can suppress noise caused by the parasitic capacitance. The high-voltage substrate 200 can achieve the same effects as the inverter device 80.

[0127] (Variation 4) Modification 4 is premised on a configuration in which the power supply conductor portion and the N bus bars 202a, 202b are arranged partially opposite each other, as in Modification 3. Fig. 17 shows the first interval X1 and the second interval X2 on the P line 31 side. However, the relationship between the first interval X1 and the second interval X2 is the same on the N line 32 side. Note that this modification will be described using a varistor 25 as an example of a filter element.

[0128] The lands 13P and 13N are part of the power supply conductor portion and are connection positions for the first terminal 251. The lands 11P and 11N are part of the power supply conductor portion and are connection positions for the power supply side terminals 21b and 21d.

[0129] The first interval X1 on the P line 31 side is the shortest distance between the land 13P and the land 11P. The second interval X2 on the P line 31 side is the shortest distance between the land 12P and the land 11P. The first interval X1 on the N line 32 side is the shortest distance between the land 13N and the land 11N. The second interval X2 on the N line 32 side is the shortest distance between the land 12N and the land 11N.

[0130] 17, the relationship between the first interval X1 and the second interval X2 is preferably such that the first interval X1 is smaller than the second interval X2. Even in a configuration in which the power supply conductor portion and the N bus bars 202a, 202b are partially opposed to each other, the inverter device 80 can reduce the parasitic capacitance by making the first interval X1 narrower than the second interval X2. In other words, the inverter device 80 can reduce the parasitic capacitance more than a configuration in which the first interval X1 is equal to or larger than the second interval X2.
