Abstract
A junction assembly has at least one junction and at least one flexible connector. The junction has at least one channel sized and configured to accept and secure at least a portion of a flexible connector relative to the parallel rings and main lead, and at least one coolant passageway through with a coolant can flow to cool the flexible connectors. The flexible connectors are constructed of conductive wire to provide an electrically conductive path and to provide the junction assembly with flexibility. This junction and channel sizing and configuration provides the junction assembly with a modular capability in that one or more flexible connectors can to be positioned in many different ways within the junction.
