Abstract
In order to reduce noise current leaking out from a frame to which semiconductor devices constituting a three-level power conversion circuit are attached to the outside of a power conversion device, the frame to which the semiconductor devices constituting the three-level power conversion circuit with which the power conversion device is equipped are attached is configured to be electrically connected to a neutral point of the three-level power conversion circuit. The noise current leaking out from the frame is thereby drawn back to the neutral point of the three-level power conversion circuit to suppress the flowing out of the noise current to the outside of the power conversion device and reduce the noise current.
