Selection Principles of High Voltage Busbars
Busbars are critical components that connect high-current and high-voltage subcomponents in high-power converters. This paper reviews the latest busbar design methodologies and offers design recommendations for both laminated and PCB-based busbars. Construction and Working Principle of Busbars Busbars are constructed from conductive metal bars, typically made of copper. In Proceedings of the 2023 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE), Nashville, TN, USA, 29 October–2 November 2023. This Tech Bulletin provides an overview of how new complex multi-layer molded busbar technologies can deliver significantly improved electrical performance from batteries to the power inverters and into the motors, while at the same time streamlining overall assembly processes.
