摘要:
A stacked busbar assembly includes two or more busbar subassemblies, each including a plurality of busbars having one or more power semiconductor devices bonded thereto (e.g., IGBTs, power diodes, and the like). Each busbar has an internal integrated cooling system including one or more fluid channels in communication with an inlet and an outlet. The busbar assemblies are stacked such that their respective inlets and outlets are aligned and a coolant may then flow in parallel therethrough.

A system is provided for securing a cover having a first surface onto a chassis having a rim, the rim having a second surface. The system comprises a clamping rail and a fastener coupled to the rail. The clamping rail is configured to form a loop that circumferentially engages the first surface and the second surface and, when constricted, produces a first force substantially coplanar with the loop. The fastener is configured to constrict the rail, the rail and the first and second surfaces configured to produce a second force having a component substantially orthogonal to the loop when the rail is constricted.
