Abstract
A high voltage distribution box includes a case housing a bus bar, a sheet of metal and a heat sink. The bus bar includes a first aperture. The sheet of material includes a second aperture registered to the first aperture. The heat sink is disposed in the case and includes a protrusion extending toward the bus bar. The protrusion includes a third aperture registered to the first aperture and the second aperture and the sheet of material is interposed between the protrusion and the bus bar. The high voltage distribution box further includes a fastener disposed within the first aperture, the second aperture and the third aperture. The fastener is configured to receive a bolt so as to secure the bus bar to the protrusion and has a thickness and a height greater than an arc potential so as to prevent an arc from occurring.
