Claims (12)

1. A motor control unit having an integrated inverter unit and a motor unit with a motor, the integrated inverter unit comprising:

a control board erected on a support board such that the control board extends in a plane perpendicular to a plane in which the support board extends;

a casing that houses the support board and the control board; and

a power supply unit spaced from the support board that penetrates a wall of the casing and connects a power source and the control board, the power supply unit directly supporting the control board erected on the support board.

2. The motor control unit according to claim 1 , wherein the integrated inverter unit comprises a plate-shaped board mount portion erected on the support board, and

the control board is installed in the plate-shaped board mount portion.

3. The motor control unit according to claim 1 , wherein the integrated inverter unit comprises a damping portion that damps vibration between the power supply unit and the casing.

4. The motor control unit according to claim 1 , wherein the control board is supported by a busbar.

5. The motor control unit according to claim 1 , wherein the integrated inverter unit comprises a connector unit connected to another end portion of the control board different from an end portion supported by the support board.

6. The motor control unit according to claim 1 , wherein the control board is erected along a juxtaposing direction of the support board and the motor.

7. The motor control unit of claim 1 , the integrated inverter unit further comprising a board mount portion directly on the support board, the control board supported on the support board between the board mount portion and the power supply unit.
