Abstract
An electric power converter includes a positive and a negative electrode terminals being disposed parallel and adjacent to each other, a positive electrode side switching device connected to the positive electrode terminal, a negative electrode side switching device connected to the negative electrode terminal, an output terminal connected to a connection point between the positive and the negative electrode side switching devices, and a counter conductor facing at least a portion of the positive electrode terminal and at least a portion of the negative electrode terminal in a height direction, the height direction being a direction perpendicular to both an aligned direction and a protruding direction of the positive and the negative electrode terminals. The counter conductor is disposed along a current path of an alternating current flowing through the positive electrode terminal, the positive electrode side switching device, the negative electrode side switching device, and the negative electrode terminal.
