Abstract: An apparatus for high current DC conductor termination. The apparatus includes a base, an insulated terminal projection, first and second opposing connectors, and first and second bus bars. The base is securable to an electrical device. The insulated terminal projection extends from the base and has first and second opposite sides. The first and second opposing connectors are mounted on the opposite sides respectively of the terminal projection, the first and second opposing connectors being substantially in line and operable to connect to first and second conductors respectively. The first and second bus bars are connected to the first and second connectors and extend closely adjacent each other inside the base and are operable to connect to the electrical device for electrical current conduction.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring electric current. The apparatus includes a conductive shunt for developing a voltage drop in response to current flow through the shunt, a temperature sensor for sensing the temperature of the shunt, and an amplifier for amplifying the voltage drop across the shunt. The voltage drop developed by the shunt has a known dependence upon the temperature of the shunt. The amplifier has an output for producing a current signal indicative of current flow through the shunt and has a gain dependent upon the temperature of the shunt, to compensate the current signal for changes in the voltage drop across the shunt due to the known dependence upon temperature of the voltage drop developed by the shunt.

Abstract: A DC link power converter apparatus including a first DC to DC converter, a DC to AC converter and a load balancing storage element. The first DC to DC converter has first and second DC ports and the DC to AC converter has a third DC port and has an AC port. The first DC port is connectable to a DC source and the second DC port is connected to the third DC port. The AC port is connectable to an AC load. The load balancing energy storage element is connected to the second DC port for decoupling the DC to DC converter from the DC to AC converter by supplying energy to the third DC port when a voltage at the second DC port is tending to decrease and for storing energy received from the second DC port when a voltage at the third port is tending to increase.
