The cooling mechanism includes a first intake system in which air drawn in through a first intake port passes subsequently by the inner stator of the generator, the fan, and a chassis of the converter, and a second intake system in which second air drawn in through a second intake port subsequently passes by the fan and then by the chassis without passing by the inner stator. The cooling mechanism is configured such that the first intake port, the inner stator, the fan, and the second intake port are arranged, in this order, in an axial direction of a rotation axis of the generator.

An engine-driven-DC-supply unit, including: a main component supported by a base member; and a mount member connected to the base member and supporting an engine body and an electric generator of the main component through four elastic bodies. The engine-driven-DC-supply unit is configured to convert electric power generated by the electric generator driven by the engine body to DC power, and to supply the converted DC power to an external load device. The four elastic bodies are located at four points. A distance between any two of the four points located in a first direction, which is along an axis of a crankshaft of the engine body, is larger than a distance between any two of the four points located in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction. The four points surround a barycenter of the main component in a plan view.
