Abstract
A busbar for power conversion applications that includes two planar conductors that have terminal locations; a first planar insulator located between the planar conductors; two impedances elements that are electrically connected to each of the planar conductors, wherein the impedance elements each extend in a plane that is non-coplanar from the planar conductors, further wherein the impedance elements are configured so as to define a gap between them; and a second planar insulator is located in the gap. A power conversion assembly that connects an energy source and a power switch to the busbar is disclosed. The present invention has been described in terms of specific embodiment(s), and it is recognized that equivalents, alternatives, and modifications, aside from those expressly stated, are possible and within the scope of the appending claims.
