Abstract
A system and method relating to a liquid cooled cable arrangement includes a charging connector and a liquid cooled charging cable, wherein the liquid cooled charging cable comprises a plurality of conductors for supplying charging current and at least two fluid channels for supply and return liquid coolant, the charging connector comprises a plurality of bus bars and a plurality of contacts, and the charging connector comprises a second part made from a thermally conductive and electrically insulating material to which the bus bars are attached and to which the fluid channels are thermally connected such that heat generated in the contacts during charging can be removed by the liquid coolant, and/or the bus bars may include bus bar fluid channels to which the fluid channels are thermally connected such that heat generated in the contacts during charging can be removed by the liquid coolant.
