High altitude, high voltage rear terminal block assembly

摘要

A disclosed terminal block assembly for a generator includes a terminal block with a base with first and second transverse terminal surfaces adjoining one another. One of the terminal surfaces includes an increased width greater than a length of a cable terminal lug for providing a lightning strike and creepage barrier. The terminal surfaces include spaced apart protrusions extending from the first and second surfaces to provide spaced apart terminal areas overlapping the first and second surfaces. First and second terminal studs are disposed within each corresponding first and second terminal areas and are electrically connected by a bus bar.

1. A terminal block assembly for a generator comprising:
a terminal block have a base including first and second transverse surfaces adjoining one another, and spaced apart protrusions extending from the first and second surfaces to provide spaced apart terminal areas overlapping the first and second surfaces; first and second terminal studs provided in corresponding first and second terminal areas, wherein at least one of the terminal areas includes a length measured from the corresponding one of the first and second terminal studs to an end of the terminal area greater than a length of a lug of a cable attachable to the corresponding one of the first and second terminal studs; and a bus bar extending from the first terminal stud to the second terminal stud providing electrical conduction between the first and second terminal studs.
