A damping unit includes a damping bent portion having the form of a flat plate and bent from a damping side portion. The damping bent portion is thermally coupled to a heat dissipation surface. This transfers the heat generated by the damping unit from the damping bent portion, in addition to the damping side portion, to the heat dissipation surface of an inverter case.
