Abstract: Cooled busbars for electric power distribution are disclosed, in particular for electrical vehicles. The cooled busbar includes one or more conductive layers and one or more hollow portions (228). A cooling medium, such as a liquid coolant, can flow through the hollow portion(s). The cooled busbar includes a rigid conductor (223), an insulating layer (224) and a shielding layer (225).

Abstract: A unitary busbar provides power from one connection point in an electric vehicle to another connection point. The unitary busbar includes a central solid core conductor, an insulation layer over the solid core conductor, and an electromagnetic shield fitted around the insulator. The unitary busbar is capable of being bent into specific configurations that allow it to conform to the body of an electric vehicle.
