1. A bus bar assembly for use in an application having a creepage distance requirement, comprising:

  • a first main conductor;

    a second main conductor; and

    an insulator member provided between the first main conductor and the second main conductor, the insulator member including (i) an insulator component having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a first outer edge around a perimeter thereof, (ii) a first conductor layer provided on the top surface of the insulator component, and (iii) a second conductor layer provided on the bottom surface of the insulator component, wherein the first conductor layer includes a second outer edge around a perimeter thereof, wherein the second outer edge is located at least a certain distance from the first outer edge around the perimeter of the insulator component, wherein the second conductor layer includes a third outer edge around a perimeter thereof, wherein the third outer edge is located at least the certain distance from the first outer edge around the perimeter of the insulator component, and wherein the certain distance is sufficient to cause the bus bar assembly to satisfy the creepage requirement.
