An inverter-integrated electrical rotating machine is provided in which
each switching device of an inverter and power wiring and control wiring
for connecting them can be highly protected electrically and mechanically
while the cooling property of the switching devices can be improved.
Cooling air flows led in from cooling air flow suction holes in an end
wall of an inverter case simultaneously flow in parallel from the cooling
air flow suction holes on inner and outer sides in the radial direction.
The cooling air flows then penetrate an inverter device in an axial
direction through an outer circumferential cooling air passage formed by
an outer circumferential lateral plate part and an inner circumference of
the inverter case and an inner circumferential cooling air passage formed
between an inner circumferential lateral plate part and a cover
surrounding a rotary shaft. The cooling air flows are then led into a
motor housing from a cooling air flow suction hole of the housing.
