Patent number: 8993142Abstract: In a battery pack for an electric car, a plurality of battery modules are mounted to be divided between the front and rear of a middle cross member and a main switch and a junction board are disposed in the front and rear of the middle cross member respectively. A bent part of a second high voltage cable, which bends into a U-shape and pass through beneath the middle cross member, is held by a cable holder and fixed to a fixing part. Since only a bus bar disposed in the intermediate part of the first high voltage cable is bent into a U-shape and passed through beneath the middle cross member, not only is a wiring operation of the first high voltage cable easy, but it is also possible to minimize the length of the bus bar to thus enhance the reliability with respect to vibration.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2012Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideaki Sakai, Kosuke Tachikawa, Makoto Kawahara
