Abstract
A power conversion apparatus is provided to prevent the arc flash generated in a board from flowing out to a operation surface for operating the board, and also to relieve the pressure inside the board to the outside from the flapper section provided on the ceiling. The power conversion apparatus that has taken measures against an arc flash composed of a power converter and a board accommodating the power converter is provided. A BUS which constitutes the power converter has the first processing that makes it hard to fly the flash in a place where arc flash is not desired to occur. A door is placed on the front board that can be opened and closed by the operator. The board has an explosion-proof shutter part to prevent the arc flash from being released to the outside by the pressure inside the board, and has a flapper section for releasing the pressure inside the board to the outside from the ceiling of the board unit, when the arc flash occurs.
