Appl. No.:

16/856503

Inventors:

- Norwalk CT, US
Jaime Garcia - Lawrence Park PA, US

Laura Cooper - Erie PA, US

International Classification:

H01C 1/08
H01C 13/02
H01C 7/00
H01C 17/00
B60L 7/06

Abstract:

A resistor includes an elongated cylindrical body having nodes and elongated members. The elongated members interconnect the nodes to form openings between the nodes and the elongated members for the flow therethrough of a cooling fluid. The body is configured to receive electric current from a powered system and to conduct and provide electric resistance to the electric current to dissipate at least part of the electric current as heat from the body. The body also is configured to be coupled with at least one other resistor of the powered system in one or more of a parallel or series arrangement in an electric circuit.

Abstract:

A resistor of a powered system includes an elongated body that extends from a first terminal end to an opposite second terminal end. The body forms a continuous path that extends from the first terminal end to the second terminal end and that forms a disc. The body is configured to receive electric current from the powered system at the first terminal end and conduct and provide electric resistance to the electric current received from the powered system to dissipate at least part of the electric current as heat from the body. The second terminal end of the body is configured to be coupled with at least one other resistor of the powered system in one or more of a parallel or series arrangement in an electric circuit.

International Classification:

H01C 1/082
B60L 7/10
H01C 1/16

Abstract:

A power diffusing assembly includes a power diffusing body disposed along a flow path of a compressible fluid. The power diffusing body includes passages extending through the power diffusing body and through which at least part of the fluid flows through the power diffusing body. The power diffusing body receives an incoming flow profile of the fluid on an inlet side of the power diffusing body, directs the fluid through the passages in the power diffusing body, and outputs an outgoing flow profile of the fluid out of an outlet side of the power diffusing body. Arrangements of the passages in the power diffusing body are based on the incoming flow profile of the fluid that are received by the power diffusing body and are based on a desired profile of the outgoing flow profile of the fluid exiting out of the power diffusing body.

Abstract:

An inverter drive assembly includes a first bus bar having a plurality of bushings, including at least a first bushing and a second bushing, the first bus bar being configured to receive at least one DC link capacitor of the inverter drive assembly via the second bushing, a second bus bar electrically connected to the first bus bar at the first bushing, and an inverter electrically connected to the second bus bar, the inverter being configured to receive electrical current through the second bus bar, wherein a height of the first bushing defines an air gap of approximately 5 millimeters between the first bus bar and the second bus bar.
