Abstract
A flat electrical cable comprises a conductive core having a core sheath and a cooling channel having a cooling channel sheath. The cooling channel and the core extend mutually parallel to one another along a length of the cable and are integrally joined to one another by a web extending along the core and the cooling channel.
Claims20
A flat electrical cable, comprising:
- a conductive core with an electrically insulating monolithic core sheath directly adjacent to and surrounding the core;
- a cooling channel with a monolithic cooling channel sheath, the cooling channel and the core extending mutually parallel to one another;
- and
- a web extending along the core and the cooling channel and integrally and directly joining the core sheath and the cooling channel sheath with one another.

An electrical assembly, comprising:
- a flat electrical cable including:
- a conductive core having an electrically insulating monolithic core sheath;
- a cooling channel having a monolithic cooling channel sheath, the cooling channel and the core extending mutually parallel to one another;
- an inlet connection member and an outlet connector member in communication with respective ends of the cooling channel;
- and
- a web extending along the core and the cooling channel and integrally and directly joining the core sheath and the cooling channel sheath with one another;
- a cooling circuit, the inlet connection member, and the outlet connection member of the cable in fluid communication with the cooling circuit for providing liquid coolant through the cooling channel;
- a battery comprising at least one cell, wherein the core of the cable is in electrical contact with the at least one cell;
- and
- a battery cooling plate for cooling the battery, the battery cooling plate in communication with or forming part of the cooling circuit providing the liquid coolant to the cooling channel of the cable.

A flat electrical cable, comprising:
- a conductive core with an electrically insulating monolithic core sheath directly surrounding the core;
- a cooling channel with a monolithic cooling channel sheath, the cooling channel and the core extending mutually parallel to one another;
- and
- a web extending along the core and the cooling channel and integrally and directly joining the core sheath and the cooling channel sheath with one another, wherein the web is distinct from and formed from a different material than the cooling channel sheath and does not surround either the cooling channel or the core.
