Specifically, the filter resistor 17 and the filter capacitor may be provided in plural sets, for example, three or more sets. For example, when the output of the inverter 5 is a three-phase output, three sets of filter resistors 17 and filter capacitors corresponding to the three-phase output may be provided, one end of each resistor in each set may be electrically connected together, and the other end of each resistor is connected to the corresponding filter capacitor, and then the filter capacitors are respectively connected to one end of the three-phase output of the inverter 5, specifically, connected to the output copper bar corresponding to the output end through a thin wire.
