Cooled electrical terminal assembly and device incorporating same

A power and signal input and output termination system for a modular power converter comprising:

• a thermal support;
• and
• an electrically isolating but thermally conducting terminal element supported on the thermal support and carrying conductors and cooling the conductors via heat transfer to the thermal support, wherein the terminal element is directly mounted adjacent to an edge of the support.

A power and signal input and output termination system for a modular power converter comprising:

• an electrically isolating but thermally conducting terminal element comprising an electrically insulative and thermally conductive polymer supported on the thermal support and carrying conductors and cooling the conductors via heat transfer to the thermal support, wherein the terminal element includes two incoming power conductors and three outgoing power conductors.
