Abstract
A power control unit for electric vehicle which can easily detach the high voltage cables even if the motor room is deformed, for example, by head-on collision and/or rear-end collision of the vehicle, which is difficult to be deformed, which can make small, and which can avoid an influence of heat generated by the reactor is disclosed. The power control unitincludes a boxwhich accommodates devices for controlling electric power supply of the electric vehicle; a reactor receiver 11which is provided on a given external surface around the boxand supports a reactor R; a heat sinkconnected to the lower end of the reactor receiver 11, covering the bottom surface of the box, possessing passages including passage wall inside thereof, and performing heat-exchange with the boxby allowing coolant water to flow within the passage; and a partition 13, which is laid on at least one side of the boxextending toward the longitudinal direction of the vehicle EV, and is detachably communicated with cables to be connected to the traction motordisposed below the heat sinkto supply power.
