The device (10) has a sealed chamber (14) for housing an electric power module (12). The chamber comprises an end section (20) and a main section (22) arranged along a longitudinal direction (X) and movable between closing and opening positions. Through holes (16) are formed on a wall (24) of the end section and allow passage of a wired link that connects the module with an apparatus exterior to the chamber. The end section has a length (L1) less than half of a length (L) of the chamber along the longitudinal direction. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing an electric power conversion device for an electric drive system of an underwater compression and pumping station.
