Electrical connecting apparatus

Abstract

Electrical connecting apparatus for electrically interconnecting an electrical energy source and electrical energy utilization apparatus including a first electrical conductor of a first electrically conductive material such as copper, a second composite electrical conductor including a third electrical conductor of a second electrically conductive material such as aluminum and a fourth electrical conductor of the first electrically conductive material, the third and fourth electrical conductors electrically and mechanically interconnected such as by roll bonding, one end of the first electrical conductor electrically and mechanically interconnected with the fourth electrical conductor such as by electron beam welding, a fifth electrical connector comprised of a plurality of layers of second electrically conductive material one end of which is electrically and mechanically interconnected to the third electrical conductor such as by metal arc welding, the other end of the first electrical conductor for being electrically and mechanically interconnected to the electrical energy utilization apparatus such as by being bolted thereto and the other end of the fifth electrical connector for being electrically and mechanically interconnected with the electrical energy source such as by metal arc welding.
