Abstract
A through hole that is slightly larger than a size of a rear end of a transformer container is formed in a rear cover constituting a part of an external wall of a starting circuit unit. The transformer container houses therein a transformer and constitutes a transformer portion. The transformer portion is assembled such that a rear end of the transformer container projects from the through hole. This allows the transformer container to constitute a part of the external wall of the starting circuit unit.
