Abstract
A busbar assembly is disclosed herein. The assembly includes a ring body having a plurality of openings extending in an axial direction and configured to receive electrical wire connections, and a plurality of phase conductors. A high-voltage connection portion is also included in this same body. The high-voltage connection portion includes a plurality of high voltage conductors each configured to engage a respective one of the plurality of phase conductors. A plurality of connectors are each attached to a respective one of the plurality of high voltage conductors. A seal is arranged on a periphery of the high-voltage connection portion to incorporate the busbar into one combined simple design.

A busbar assembly comprising:
- an annular ring body including:
- a plurality of openings extending in an axial direction and configured to receive electrical wire connections, and
- a plurality of phase conductors extending in a circumferential direction;
- a high-voltage connection portion having a planar face extending in a plane tangential to the ring body and disposed radially outwardly of the ring body, and including:
- a plurality of high voltage conductors each configured to engage a respective one of the plurality of phase conductors;
- a plurality of connectors each attached to a respective one of the plurality of high voltage conductors;
- and
- a seal arranged on a periphery of the high-voltage connection portion, wherein the seal is arranged within a groove formed on the high-voltage connection portion such that the seal is retained between opposing walls of the groove;
- wherein the plurality of connectors are exposed to the planar face of the high-voltage connection portion.
A busbar assembly comprising:
- an annular ring body including a plurality of openings extending in an axial direction and configured to receive electrical wire connections, the plurality of openings each have a chamfered surface;
- a high-voltage connection portion having a planar face extending in a plane tangential to the ring body and disposed radially outwardly of the ring body and including a plurality of connectors;
- and
- a seal arranged around a periphery of the high-voltage connection portion, wherein the seal is arranged within a groove formed on the high-voltage connection portion such that the seal is retained between opposing walls of the groove;
- wherein the plurality of connectors are exposed to the planar face of the high-voltage connection portion.
A busbar assembly comprising:
- a ring body including:
