Original Abstract Submitted
In a power conversion device, first-phase semiconductor modules are successively arranged in a first direction to form a part of a first row. Second-phase semiconductor modules are successively arranged in the first direction to form a part of a second row while facing the first-phase semiconductor modules. Third-phase semiconductor modules are arranged in a second direction so that one of the third-phase semiconductor modules forms a part of the first row and another of the third-phase semiconductor modules forms a part of the second row. The first row and the second row have surfaces facing each other and from which output terminals protrude. Each of output conductors extends from a connected portion of an output terminal in a direction away from the third-phase semiconductor modules.
