AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the insulation layer of the high-voltage copper busbar in the battery pack melts during thermal runaway, causing a short circuit. This cannot effectively prevent the copper busbar from bridging with the casing, leading to heat propagation and safety hazards.
A high-temperature resistant insulation layer is wrapped around the PVC insulation layer, and through holes are set on the copper busbar conductor to form a concentric layer structure. Mica paper or mica tape is used as a high-temperature resistant insulation material to enhance the insulation performance.
In the event of thermal runaway of the battery pack, the high-temperature resistant insulation layer maintains its insulation properties, preventing short circuits between the copper busbars and the casing, avoiding the spread of thermal runaway, and improving the safety of the entire vehicle and passenger compartment.
