Abstract
A primary strut, which extends integrally from a heat sink main body, supports a circuit board at a location between a connector terminal and one of a switching device or a drive wiring. A secondary strut, which extends integrally from the heat sink main body, supports the circuit board at a location that is on an opposite side of the switching device and the drive wiring, which is opposite from the connector terminal. A temperature sensor is installed to the circuit board at a location, which is spaced from the primary strut, the switching device and the drive wiring, and at which the temperature sensor senses a temperature of the secondary strut. A control device limits an electric current supplied to the switching device upon estimating a temperature of the switching device while using the temperature, which is sensed with the temperature sensor, as a reference temperature.
