Abstract:
A bus bar assembly includes, among other things, a nonconductive terminal cap that is configured to at least partially surround an electrically conductive terminal. The terminal cap has a perimeter wall that is configured to circumscribe at least a portion of the terminal to provide a gap that is configured to expose the terminal. The terminal cap includes a first attachment feature. The terminal cap also includes a bus bar that has an end that is configured to mechanically and electrically engage the terminal in an assembled condition. The terminal cap further includes a nonconductive shroud that encloses the bus bar. The shroud includes a second attachment feature that is configured to removably engage the first attachment feature in the assembled condition to secure the shroud to the terminal cap.
