6. A power converter device comprising:
a converter part which converts a power from a power source to a DC power;
a smoothing part which smoothes an output from the converter part where a first capacitor part and a second capacitor part are connected in series; and
an inverter part which converts an output of the smoothing part to an AC power and outputs it;
a wiring planar conductor surface of a first wiring planar conductor which connects a P phase of a positive electrode side of said inverter part and a positive electrode of said capacitor part;
a second wiring planar conductor which connects a negative electrode of said second capacitor part and a N phase on a negative electrode side of said inverter part and is arranged so as to mutually overlap with said first wiring planar conductor; and
a third wiring planar conductor which is interposed between said first and second wiring planar conductors so as to mutually overlap with said first and second wiring planar conductors and connects a negative electrode of said first capacitor part and a positive electrode of said second capacitor part;
wherein a direction of a current which flows in said third wiring planar conductor flows in a direction opposite to a direction of a current which flows in said first wiring planar conductor or said second wiring planar conductor.
