A temperature sensor installing device for a power relay assembly, which is configured to be attached to a lower surface of a bus bar attached to a heating surface of the power relay assembly, the temperature sensor installing device comprising:
- a body housing;
- a temperature sensor insertion recess formed in an upper portion of the body housing and accommodating a temperature sensor such that a temperature sensing surface of the temperature sensor faces upward;
- and
- a nut insertion recess formed in the upper portion of the body housing and accommodating a nut.
A method for installing a temperature sensor on a heating surface of a power relay assembly, the method comprising:
- attaching a bus bar to the heating surface of the power relay assembly;
- bringing a temperature sensing surface of the temperature sensor into contact with a lower surface of the bus bar;
- and
- fixedly coupling the temperature sensor, with the temperature sensing surface being in contact with the lower surface of the bus bar, to the bus bar using a bolt.
A power relay assembly in which a temperature sensor is installed, the power relay assembly comprising:
- a bus bar attached to a heating surface of the power relay assembly;
- a temperature sensor installing device attached to a lower surface of the bus bar;
- and
- a temperature sensor disposed in the temperature sensor installing device and in contact with the lower surface of the bus bar,
- wherein the temperature sensor is disposed in the temperature sensor installing device such that a temperature sensing surface of the temperature sensor faces upward, and
- wherein the bus bar is attached to the heating surface of the power relay assembly by a temperature sensor mounting bolt coupled to a nut of the temperature sensor installing device.
