Abstract: An inverter assembly including a phase-control chamber and a direct current (DC) chamber. The phase-control chamber includes a direct current (DC) link capacitor electrically connected a control circuit board via multiple connectors. The DC chamber includes a ferrite filter fixed to a DC bus bar via a support component.

Abstract: An inverter is provided that includes a direct current (DC) bus bar assembly positioned within a DC chamber in the housing is provided herein. The inverter further includes a gate-driver circuit board included in a phase-control chamber in the housing, and an external communication interface in electronic communication with a power control circuit board and positioned in an external communication chamber in the housing. The DC chamber, the phase-control chamber, and the external communication chamber have varying levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Abstract: An inverter is provided herein. The inverter includes, in one example, a direct current (DC) bus bar assembly electrically connected to a capacitor and a current sensor and an electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering capacitor on a circuit board. The inverter further includes a power module electrically coupled to a capacitor and an alternating current (AC) bus bar assembly, where the AC bus bar assembly includes multiple phase bus bars.

Abstract: A multiphase connector for electric powertrain systems includes a terminal block and a plug member that are, at least in part, made from electrically conductive metal. The terminal block has at least one socket surrounding a retaining spring and the plug member has at least one contact pin configured to be inserted in to the at least one socket. The plug member can be engaged with the terminal block without use of installation tools and includes one or more cable gland assembly in contact with a shield of a shielded cable.

Abstract: An apparatus (310) for manufacturing stranded cables comprises a supply spool assembly (320, 322) having filaments wound thereon, and a flyer (316) mounted for rotation about a central axis for imparting a rotational movement to the filaments, while guiding them axially through the apparatus (310). The filaments are wound together as they pass a gathering point centrally disposed to the central axis and downstream of the flyer (316). A filament advancing assembly (16) is provided downstream of the gathering point to impart an advancing speed to the filaments. A control system allows for the control of the number of revolutions of the flyer (316) per unit length of filaments advancing through the gathering point to ensure that a constant helical pitch is obtained. The tension in the filaments is controlled by creating an adjustable opposition to the pulling action of the filament advancing assembly (16) on the filaments thereby ensuring the production of a high quality stranded cable.

Abstract: An apparatus for the manufacture of twisted wire from two or more feed wires, whereby the twisted wire is taken up onto a take up spool, the take up spool being axially reciprocatingly displaceable along its longitudinal axis and wherein the take up spool is not rotatably driven about its longitudinal axis. The feed wires are advanced through the apparatus by a capstan configured and disposed to be axially aligned with the twisting means of the apparatus.
