    Abstract: An electrical system includes a power electronics system and a bus bar coupled to the power electronic system. The power electronics system includes a switching device configured to selectively connect and disconnect. The bus bar includes a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer. The first conductive layer is disposed directly adjacent a first insulation layer, wherein the first conductive layer is configured to conduct a first polarity of electrical power to, from, or both the power electronics system. The second conductive layer is disposed directly adjacent the first insulation layer, and is configured to conduct a second polarity of electrical power opposite the first polarity to, from, or both the power electronics system. The first conductive layer comprises a first thickness half a second thickness of the second conductive layer.

    Abstract: A multi-level DC-DC converter includes an input side to receive a DC power having an input voltage and current, an output side to provide power to a load at a desired output voltage and current, and a plurality of transformer-isolated DC-DC converters connected between the input and output sides, with the transformer-isolated DC-DC converters being connected in series on one side and connected in parallel on another side. Each of the transformer isolated DC-DC converters further includes a power transformer having a primary winding and a secondary winding, and a plurality of switching devices each selectively operable in one of an On state and an Off state. Operating the switching devices in a complementary On state and Off state alternately at a controlled switching frequency provides for engaging the transformer isolated DC-DC converter and operating the switching devices in a simultaneously On state bypasses the transformer isolated DC-DC converter.
