Further, by fixing a relatively heavy reactor to the first base and fixing a boosting capacitor lighter than the reactor to the second base, the load acting on the second base is reduced and the center of gravity is increased. 1 can be brought close to the base side. Therefore, the vibration resistance of the drive device control unit can be improved.

- each box-shaped portion can be reduced as compared with the case where both the smoothing capacitor and the boosting capacitor are accommodated in one box-shaped portion, and the first A wall separating the box-shaped portion and the second box-shaped portion serves to reinforce the second base. Therefore, it is easy to reduce the weight while securing the rigidity of the second base.
- a noise filter for removing power supply noise is further provided, and the noise filter is fixed to the side opposite to the first box-shaped portion with respect to the boosting capacitor.
- the boosting capacitor heavier than the noise filter on the first box-shaped part side having high rigidity, the deflection near the second box-shaped part in the second base is suppressed, The vibration of the noise filter and the boosting capacitor can be reduced. Therefore, the vibration resistance of the noise filter and boosting capacitor can be improved.
- the electromagnetic noise generated from the boosting capacitor accommodated in the second box-shaped portion can be shielded by the cover member and the second base. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the electromagnetic noise from affecting the control board and the cable connected to the control board.

次に、駆動装置制御ユニット1の全体の概略構造について説明する。なお、以下の説明においては、特に断らない限り、「上」というときは駆動装置制御ユニット1のカバー39側(図1、図2、図4、図6~図8、及び図11における上側)を指し、「下」というときは駆動装置制御ユニット1のケースフレーム10側(図1、図2、図4、図6~図8、及び図11における下側)を指すものとする。図1及び図2に示すように、この駆動装置制御ユニット1は、駆動装置2を制御する制御基板33と、モータM及びジェネレータGを駆動(制御)するためのインバータ3を構成する第1スイッチング素子モジュール31及び第2スイッチング素子モジュール32と、インバータ3の入力電源を平滑する平滑コンデンサ34と、スイッチング素子モジュール31、32が固定された第1の基台としてのケースフレーム10と、このケースフレーム10に支持され、一方の面(上面)に制御基板33が固定され、他方の面(下面)に平滑コンデンサ34が固定された第2の基台としての支持ブラケット20と、を備えている。
