A cover accommodates a power converter receiving high voltage. A connector assembling portion to which a connector of an external power line is assembled is arranged external to the cover and secured by a securing member to a vehicle's main body. A support member is arranged at a lower surface of the cover and connector assembling portion, rather than that portion of casing connecting the connector assembling portion and the power converter's main body, between the cover and the connector assembling portion and thus binds them together.

Power conversion device and vehicle equipped therewith

An electrically insulating member is provided between a bus bar of an IPM and a nearby casing so as to electrically insulate the casing from the bus bar of the IPM. Above the portion where electrical insulation is necessary, a bracket provided for supporting a component-to-be supported is secured to the casing. The electrically insulating member is attached to a lower portion of the bracket that is an existing component.
