High efficiency B+ connection

摘要

An alternator includes a B+ bolt, rectifier B+ terminals, a bus having bends respectively surrounding ones of the rectifier B+ terminals and having an end formed into a ring terminal, and a stop, where the bus ring terminal is placed onto the B+ bolt and a load cable ring terminal may be placed onto the B+ bolt in direct contact with the bus ring terminal and secured thereto by the stop. A method of connecting B+ on an alternator includes bending a copper bus conductor so that one side of the bus conductor surrounds and abuts each of the rectifier B+ terminals, shaping one end of the bus conductor into a ring terminal, and placing the ring terminal of the bus conductor onto the B+ stud. A method includes coupling the B+ terminals and the B+ stud together with a copper bus conductor, and cooling the copper bus conductor.
