Abstract
As a framework memberof a vehicle deforms, a bracket attached to the framework memberalso deforms. An inverterwhich is attached to the framework membervia a bracketalso deforms. Thus, following the deformation of the framework memberof the vehicle, the bracketand the inverterdeform accordingly to result in a rather small amount of relative deformation among the framework member, the bracket, and the inverter. In addition, a high voltage lineattached to the bracketalso deforms following the deformation of the bracket. Therefore, even in the event of an accident, the high voltage linecan be secured in a space reserved between framework memberand inverter, which significantly reduces the possibility of disconnection of the high voltage line
