Abstract
In a method for producing a power converter, a surface or at least part of the surface of at least two aluminum busbars is subjected to an anodizing treatment to color the surface with at least one specifiable color, and a cold gas coating is applied on a first part of the surface to produce a contact surface.
Claims8
A method for producing a power converter, said method comprising:
- subjecting a surface or at least part of the surface of at least two aluminum busbars to an anodizing treatment to color the surface with at least one specifiable color;
- and
- applying a cold gas coating on a first part of the surface to produce a contact surface.
A power converter, comprising:
- at least two aluminum busbars, each of the at least two aluminum busbars having a surface including a first part and a second part, with a cold gas coating on the first part of the surface creating a contact surface, and with an anodized coating on the second part of the surface, with each anodized coating colored with a specified color, wherein the color of one of the at least two aluminum busbars is different than the color of another one of the at least two aluminum busbars, and the color of the one of the at least two aluminum busbars and the color of the another one of the at least two aluminum busbars are selected depending on a function and/or a hazard potential of the at least two aluminum busbars;
- and
- electrical components electrically connected to at least one of the at least two aluminum busbars.
