Power conversion device
A capacitor and a discharge resistor can be connected using a simplified configuration without using a bus bar. A connection of a capacitor and a discharge resistor of a power conversion device are carried out using wire harnesses that form positive and negative lines. The capacitor and the discharge resistor are integrated by being directly connected using a first wire harness. A second wire harness is drawn out from a terminal portion electrically separated from a first terminal portion of the capacitor; and a third wire harness is drawn out from the discharge resistor, where the second wire harness and the third wire harness are fastened.
