Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power connection technology, specifically to a high-insulation composite busbar. Background Technology
[0002] Composite busbars (also known as laminated busbars) are integrated electrical connection devices formed by alternating layers of conductive plates (such as copper or aluminum) and insulating materials (such as PET composite film, epoxy resin, etc.). They are integrally formed through a hot-pressing process, and the conductor layers are encapsulated by high-insulation-strength materials to form a composite structure with low inductance and low impedance. Compared with existing conventional wiring designs, this structure can save more than 30% of installation space and is suitable for high-density equipment layouts. It is widely used in high-voltage and high-current scenarios such as new energy inverters, rail transit traction systems, IGBT modules, and data center UPS.
[0003] Currently, the main defects in the electrical clearance of composite busbars are as follows: in pursuit of compactness, the stacking of multiple conductors in composite busbars may lead to a reduction in the electrical clearance between phases, which can easily cause arc discharge; and the structure of busbar connection holes, bent pins and other structures may cause electric field concentration. If the creepage distance is not increased through designs such as hollowing out or covering, partial discharge can easily occur at the defect.
[0004] In view of this, there is an urgent need to design a high-insulation composite busbar to overcome the technical defects of existing composite busbars. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a high-insulation composite busbar, comprising a composite busbar body, the composite busbar body including a plurality of busbar conductive layers, with insulating layers connecting adjacent busbar conductive layers and to the outer side of each busbar conductive layer. The composite busbar body includes an inlet area and an outlet area, both of which are provided with busbar connection holes penetrating the composite busbar body. Busbar terminals are connected within the busbar connection holes, and each busbar terminal is electrically connected to only one layer of the busbar conductive layer. In the inlet area or the outlet area, insulating baffles are provided between the corresponding busbar terminals connected to different busbar conductive layers, with the insulating baffles located on the outermost surface of the insulating layer. A side connection area is provided between the inlet area and the outlet area, and the edges of the busbar conductive layers are distributed and bent upward toward the side connection area to form a plurality of transition portions, with separation gaps provided between the transition portions of different busbar conductive layers.
[0006] In one possible implementation, the busbar terminal includes a contact portion and a penetrating portion, the contact portion of the busbar terminal is electrically connected to one of the busbar conductive layers, the penetrating portion of the busbar terminal passes through the other busbar conductive layers in sequence, and an annular isolation layer is provided between the penetrating portion and the other busbar conductive layers.
[0007] In one possible implementation, the size of the contact portion is larger than the size of the penetrating portion.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the annular insulating layer is a mica sheet, glass fiber reinforced polyester, or PI film.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the side of the outgoing area is provided with a plurality of backup power supply units, and the plurality of backup power supply units are respectively connected to the busbar conductive layer.
[0010] In one possible implementation, the thickness of the insulating strip is greater than the height at which the busbar terminal protrudes from the composite busbar body.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the incoming line area and the outgoing line area are parallel to each other, and the incoming line area and the outgoing line area are not on the same plane.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the adapter is connected to a screw-in threaded post.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the adapter is above the plane containing the incoming and outgoing cable areas.
[0014] In one possible implementation, the insulating strips are provided on both sides of the composite busbar body, and the insulating strips include alternating convex strips and grooves.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages: This technical solution for high-insulation composite busbars firstly divides the composite busbar body into incoming and outgoing sections. In both the incoming and outgoing sections, insulating strips are installed between the busbar terminals corresponding to different busbar conductive layers, effectively increasing the interphase creepage distance. This is especially important in high-voltage environments, preventing short circuits caused by insufficient electrical clearance. Secondly, in the side connection area, separation gaps are provided between the transition parts of different busbar conductive layers, expanding the electrical clearance between the interlayer transition parts and reducing the risk of creepage between phase transition parts.
[0016] In this technical solution, the edge of the busbar conductive layer bends upward toward the side connection area to form a transition section, and physical isolation is achieved through the separation gap. This transition design avoids electric field concentration near sharp structures such as connection holes and bent pins on the busbar conductive layer, thereby suppressing partial discharge and improving the safety of composite busbar use. Although the composite busbar increases insulation measures through structural layout and design, the main body structure of the composite busbar is still formed by multi-layer lamination, which saves installation space compared to existing conventional wiring. The design of the insulation strip and separation gap does not require a large amount of additional space, making it suitable for the layout of high-density power distribution equipment.

[0027] In this embodiment, the insulating strip 30 is connected to the surface of the composite busbar body 10 by heat fusion.
[0028] In this embodiment, the high-insulation composite busbar first divides the composite busbar body 10 into incoming and outgoing sections. In the incoming section 13 and the outgoing section 14, insulating strips 30 are provided between the busbar terminals 20 corresponding to the conductive layers 11 of different busbars, which effectively increases the creepage distance between phases, especially in high-voltage environments, to avoid short circuits caused by insufficient electrical clearance.

[0029] In this embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 As shown, the busbar terminal 20 includes a contact portion 21 and a penetrating portion 22.

[0039] In this embodiment, the edge of the busbar conductive layer 11 is bent upward toward the side connection area to form a transition part 17, and physical isolation is achieved through the separation gap 18. This transition design avoids the concentration of electric field at sharp structures such as connection holes and bent pins on the busbar conductive layer 11, thereby suppressing partial discharge and improving the safety of the composite busbar. Although the composite busbar has increased insulation measures through structural layout and design, the main body structure of the composite busbar is still formed by multi-layer lamination, which saves installation space compared with existing conventional wiring.
