Abstract
A bus bar comprised of a layered stack of flexible conductive planar leaf conductors, with sufficient cross-sectional current carrying capacity, is used in a bulk rectifier for conducting heavy currents between components. The bus bar is amenable to being easily coupled to mounting structures having mounting pad planes at different levels and angular positions. It is normally uninsulated and hence heat exchange is enhanced compared with traditional insulated cable. This permits the bus bars to operate at a relatively low temperature.
