Abstract
Various disclosed embodiments include cover assemblies for an electrical busbar connection, busbar connector assemblies, and battery systems. In an illustrative embodiment, a cover assembly for an electrical busbar connection includes an electrically insulative busbar cover configured to receive therein an end of an electrical busbar. Electrically insulative fastener receptacles extend from the busbar cover, each fastener receptacle being sized to receive therein a fastener assembly, each fastener receptacle defining therein a first opening at a first end distal the busbar cover and a second opening at a second end proximal the busbar cover, the first opening being sized to permit insertion therethrough of a tool to turn a fastener assembly, the first opening being further sized to prevent insertion therethrough of a finger of a human. Electrically insulative retaining tabs extend into an interior of each of the fastener receptacles intermediate the first opening and the second opening.
