Abstract
A fused buss bar assembly for bussing battery cells of a battery module includes a plate configured to be terminated to a cell terminal of a corresponding battery cell and a buss bar fuse in the plate. The buss bar fuse having at least one connecting strip between a first base section and a second base section. The buss bar fuse has a fuse channel associated with the at least one connecting strip. The fuse channel reduces the cross-section of the buss bar fuse at the corresponding connecting strip such that the connecting strip has a reduced fused cross-section relative to a first cross-section of the first base section and a second cross-section of the second base section. The fused buss bar assembly includes a fuse bridge coupled to the buss bar fuse. The fuse bridge spans the fuse channel to electrically connect the first base section and the second base section.
