Abstract
An electric drive system includes a power electronics module with a prefabricated DC bus bar assembly. The prefabricated DC bus bar assembly includes a molded bleed resistor which serves two different functions. First, it dissipates energy from a capacitor when the battery is disconnected. Secondly, it physically supports the positive bus bar and the negative bar with respect to one another.
