A circuit board with integrated fusing includes an insulating substrate having a circuit trace formed on a surface thereof, the circuit trace including a first circuit trace portion and a second circuit trace portion. A fusible link electrically connects the first circuit trace portion to the second circuit trace portion, the fusible link including a planar surface extending from the first circuit trace portion to the second circuit trace portion. A dielectric reflow encapsulates the fusible link on the planar surface from the first circuit trace portion to the second circuit trace portion.

A rectifier assembly includes: a mounting base; and one or more rectification modules configured to be received in the mounting base, each rectification module including: an electronic network including one or more electronic elements configured to convert alternating current (AC) electrical power at an input of the rectification module to direct current (DC) electrical power at an output of the rectification module. Each of the one or more rectification modules is configured to be electrically connected to a DC bus of a driving apparatus that is separate from and independent of the rectifier assembly.
