Abstract
A rectifier assembly includes a diode pack. A bus bar includes a first layer electrically connected to the diode pack. The first layer has a first yield strength and a first coefficient of thermal expansion. A second layer of copper is joined to the first layer and includes a second yield strength less than the first yield strength. In one example, the second layer has a second coefficient of thermal expansion within 5% of the first coefficient of thermal expansion.
