Abstract
There is provided a vehicle-air-conditioner electric compressor in which a high-voltage short circuit due to the breakage of a high-voltage system including an inverter is prevented in the event of a crash, thereby improving safety. In a vehicle-air-conditioner electric compressor () including an inverter accommodating section () at the periphery of a pressure-resistant housing () in which an electric motor and a compressing mechanism are accommodated, the inverter accommodating section () accommodating an inverter () that converts direct-current power supplied from a high-voltage power source to three-phase alternating-current power and feeds the power to the electric motor in the pressure-resistant housing () through glass-sealed terminals (), wherein in a vehicle-mounted state, the inverter accommodating section () and the inverter () are offset to the rear of a vehicle with respect to the front-surface portion (A), facing the front of the vehicle, of the pressure-resistant housing.
