  • Power cable and bus bar with transitional cross sections
    Patent number: 10460853
    Abstract: An electrical cable is provided with a rounded insulated electrical conductor that transitions to a flattened section to fit into areas where the rounded portion does not fit. A round electrical conductor transitions to a flattened section for electrical conduction routing via the undercarriage of a vehicle, for routing under the carpeting of the passenger compartment, or other confined spaces. The electrical cable may illustratively be used in an electric car application where distribution of electrical current from the battery compartment to the motor requires additional wiring in the vehicle not found in combustion based engines. The reduced vertical profile of the flattened section provides for additional clearance between the vehicle undercarriage and the road, or between the undercarriage frame and the interior passenger compartment carpet.
