Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A solid state contactor assembly includes at least one solid state switch electrically connected to a first bus bar via at least one conductive plate. The solid state switch controls a flow of current between the first bus bar and a second bus bar. A current sensor is formed along a cross section of one of the first or second bus bar such that the current sensor separates its associated bus bar into two separate bus bar portions, and such that a flow of current between the two separate bus bar portions passes through the current sensor. A switch control is operable to control the solid state switch. The switch control is in communication with the current sensor.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A solid state contactor assembly, comprising: at least one solid state switch electrically connected to a first bus bar via at least one conductive plate, the solid state switch controlling a flow of current between the first bus bar and a second bus bar; a current sensor formed along a cross section of one of the first or second bus bar such that the current sensor separates its associated bus bar into two separate bus bar portions and such that a flow of…
