A filter device that suppresses electromagnetic interference generated in
an alternating current circuit connected to a power converter with an
alternating current output includes: a common mode choke connected to
between any one terminal at an input side, an output side, or a direct
current link of the power converter and input terminals of the
alternating current circuit; and a connecting element that connects an
outgoing line from a neutral point of the alternating current circuit to
a reference potential point having little potential variation at an
upstream of the common mode choke.
