Abstract: A bus bar assembly includes a bus bar formed of a first electrically conductive material having a planar contact portion. The bus bar defines a first bore extending through the contact portion. The bus bar assembly further includes a contact insert formed of a second electrically conductive material that has a greater hardness than the first electrically conductive material. The contact insert defines a first surface that is mechanically and electrically connected to the contact portion of the bus bar. The contact insert defines a second surface this is plated with a third electrically conductive material which is different than the second electrically conductive material. The contact insert defines a smooth second bore coaxial with the first bore and extending from the first surface to the second surface.

Abstract: A busbar connection system comprises a plate member formed of a first material having a higher tensile strength than second and third materials of first and second busbars, respectively, and defining first and second apertures and first and second stud members securely inserted through the first and second apertures of the plate member, respectively, the first and second stud members being configured to be securely inserted through first and second apertures, respectively, in each of the first and second busbars, wherein the first and second stud members mitigate rotational movement between the first and second busbars when connected.

Abstract: A retainer clip assembly includes a first retainer clip and a second retainer clip that, when attached to the first retainer clip, defines a first aperture and a second aperture with an opening therebetween. The opening between the first and second apertures provides thermal communication between first and second elongate elements, for example an electrical bus bar and a coolant conduit providing a heat sink for the bus bar, when they are secured within the first and second apertures.

Abstract: An electrical conductor assembly includes a planar first conductor, a planar second conductor overlaying the first conductor, and a first electrically insulative layer between the first and second conductors. The first electrically insulative layer and the first conductor define a first aperture though which a portion of the second conductor is exposed. A process of forming the electrical conductor assembly is also contained herein.
