Power conversion device

The power conversion device according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with first to fourth switching elements, and first to eighth diodes. The first to fourth diodes are electrically connected in inverse parallel to the first to fourth switching elements, respectively. The seventh diode is electrically connected in parallel to the second diode. The eighth diode is electrically connected in parallel to the third diode. The second diode is housed in a first package. The seventh diode is housed in a second package, which is different from the first package, and which does not include the switching elements. The eighth diode is housed in the second package, or alternatively, the eighth diode is housed in another package, which is different from the first package and the second package, and which does not include the switching elements. 实施方式的电力变换装置具备第1至第4开关元件和第1至第8二极管。上述第1至第4二极管分别与上述第1至第4开关元件电气地反向并联连接。上述第7二极管与上述第2二极管电气地并联连接。上述第8二极管与上述第3二极管电气地并联连接。上述第2二极管被收容在第1封装中。上述第7二极管被收容在与上述第1封装不同并且不包含开关元件
