Abstract
A hinged busbar assembly includes a first mounting busbar configured to be electrically and mechanically connected to the first component at a fixed connection, a second mounting busbar configured to be electrically and mechanically connected to the second component at a fixed connection, and at least two extension busbars extending between the first and second mounting busbars. Adjacent extension busbars are electrically and mechanically connected to each other at a pivotal connection. One of the at least two extension busbars is electrically and mechanically connected to the first mounting busbar at a pivotal connection, and another one of the at least two extension busbars is electrically and mechanically connected to the second mounting busbar at a pivotal connection. Each pivotal connection includes at least one extension extending from each adjacent busbar and at least one electrical contact mounted in each extension, and a pin inserted through the electrical contacts.
