Abstract
A bus bar is installed on a relay box accommodating relays. An exposed core wire at one end of an input line and an exposed core wire at one end of a bypassing line are crimped to a crimping portion of a first connection terminal. An exposed core wire at one end of an output line and an exposed core wire at the other end of the bypassing line are crimped to a crimping portion of a second connection terminal. The first and second connection terminals are connected with the bus bar by means of a respective screws tightened into the bus bar.
Claims8
An electric wiring structure for use with at least one electrical component, comprising:
- a bus bar that supplies electricity to the at least one electrical component;
- a first fastener;
- a second fastener;
- a first connection terminal connected to the bus bar by the first fastener which is tightened into the bus bar;
- a second connection terminal connected to the bus bar the second fastener which is tightened into the bus bar;
- an input line connected to the first connection terminal;
- an output line that supplies electric current to the at least one electrical component, the output line being connected to the second connection terminal;
- and
- a by-passing member connecting the first connection terminal with the second connection terminal;
- wherein the bypassing member conducts a first portion of the electric current between the first and second connection terminals while a second portion of the electric current flows through the bus bar.
