US 12,756,118 B2 · Flexible HV connector busbar interconnect system

Abstract

A busbar interconnect system having a housing of an inverter, and an interconnect assembly mounted in the housing, where the interconnect assembly includes an insulator housing, a first busbar having first and second ends, a second busbar having first and second ends, and the first busbar, the second busbar, and a mounting bracket at least partially surrounded by the insulator housing, the mounting bracket mounted to the housing. In a first configuration, a first of a plurality of connectors is connected to the first end of the first busbar and a second of the plurality of connectors is connected to the first end of the second busbar. In a second configuration, the first of the plurality of connectors is connected to the second end of the first busbar and the second of the plurality of connectors is connected to the second end of the second busbar.
