Abstract

A laminated bus assembly including a high power coupler to provide a low impedance, low noise laminated bus assembly for a switched converter that includes a plurality of switch pairs to convert between an AC power line and a DC device. The laminated bus assembly includes a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and a third conductive layer. A dielectric layer is laminated between each of the first, second, and third planes. The high power coupler includes a bushing positioned within the laminated assembly, including an engageable section for engaging with one of the conductive layers. A passage hole including an insulator ring is formed in intermediate conductive planes for passage of the bushing. A circuit layout includes a plurality of electrical connections between the switches, the AC, -DC and +DC bar conductors, and the DC device.
