Abstract
An electrical connection shunt assembly is designed to be coupled electrically between two electrical contact terminal connectors. The assembly includes a set of electrical current conduction elements. The set of conduction elements comprising a first terminal and a second terminal designed to be coupled with a first and a second electrical contact terminal connectors, an electrical coupling element for the first and second terminals designed to allow electrical current flow from a first terminal to the second terminal. At least one of the conduction elements comprises a shunt conduit that is arranged through the conduction element so as to have a coolant flow therein.
Claims8
An electrical connection shunt assembly, comprising:
- an electrically conductive terminal configured to be coupled with a first electrical contact terminal connector having a shunt conduit configured to have a coolant flow therethrough and extending through a central portion of the terminal, wherein a first end of the shunt conduit is terminated by a first shunt interconnection means and a second end is terminated by a cavity having a diameter larger than the shunt conduit;
- an electrically conductive coupling element in direct contact with the terminal;
- and
- an electrically insulating housing in which the coupling element is disposed, said housing comprising a hollow piece defining a terminal connector conduit configured to have the coolant flow therethrough and extending through a central portion of the hollow piece, wherein the hollow piece is received within the cavity of the terminal, and wherein a first end of the terminal connector conduit is in fluid communication with the shunt conduit and a first end of the terminal connector conduit is terminated by a first shunt interconnection means.
