Abstract: In at least one embodiment, a busbar assembly for a vehicle is provided. The assembly includes a printed circuit board (PCB), a first plate, a second plate, and a third plate. The first plate supported on the PCB and is configured to enable a first current to flow in a first direction. The second plate is supported on the PCB and includes a first portion positioned below the first plate to enable a second current to flow in a second direction. The third plate is on the PCB and is positioned below the second plate to enable the first current to flow in the first direction. The second current that flows through the second plate is increased through an effective cross-section of the second plate when the flow of the second current in the second direction is different than the flow of the first current in the first direction.
