An inverter unit includes an inverter and an inverter housing. The inverter drives an electric motor and includes at least one power module and a printed circuit board. The power module converts a High Voltage (HV) Direct Current (DC) to a three-phase Alternating Current (AC) that drives the electric motor. The power module includes lead frames to be received in apertures formed on the PCB. The PCB configured with electronic components mounted thereon controls the electric motor. The inverter housing includes a front head and a cover. The cover in conjunction with the front head defines an enclosure for receiving the inverter. The inverter unit includes support elements to support the power module in a hanging configuration with respect to the PCB.
