Original Abstract Submitted

A power conversion apparatus comprises a plurality of submodules and an insulating structure. The plurality of submodules are aligned in at least one of a first direction and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. Adjacent two of the submodules are insulated from each other by the insulating structure.
