Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a power converter in which increase in the wiring inductance of a busbar connected to a capacitor is effectively suppressed. The power converter includes: a capacitor having a first electrode and a second electrode; and a specific busbar connected to a specific electrode which is one or each of both of the first electrode and the second electrode. The specific busbar has a folded wiring portion having parts opposing each other by being folded, at the specific electrode, and an end of the folded wiring portion is connected to the specific electrode.
