Electrical cable link apparatus and electrical cable system comprising the apparatus
An electrical cable link apparatus includes a first electrical conductor structured to conduct a first electrical current from a first screen portion of a first external electrical cable; an electrical linking module connected to the first electrical conductor and structured to implement a cross-bonding/earting link; a first inductor device inductively coupled to the first electrical conductor and able to generate a supply voltage.
Device and method for splicing shielded wire cables
A wire cable assembly, such as those used in electric or hybrid electric vehicles, having a plurality of shielded wire cables that are spliced together is presented. The assembly. A resilient shield clip electrically interconnects the shield conductors of at least a portion of the plurality of shielded wire cables. The shield clip defines a first wire receiving portion that is characterized as being omega-shaped in cross section. A first shield conductor portion is received within the first wire receiving portion. The shield clip further defines second and third wire receiving portions in which the second and third shield conductor portions are received respectively. A conductive shield sleeve is in electrical contact with the shield clip and encloses the first, second, and third shield conductor portions. A method of splicing shielded wire cables using such a shield clip is also presented herein.
Device and method for splicing shielded wire cables
A wire cable assembly, such as those used in electric or hybrid electric vehicles, having a plurality of shielded wire cables that are spliced together is presented. The assembly includes a splicing device having a generally planar bus bar formed of a conductive material, wherein the exposed core conductors of the shielded wire cables are welded to the bus bar, thereby electrically interconnecting the exposed core conductors. A conductive sleeve encloses bus bar and interconnects the shield conductors of the shielded wire cables, providing shielding for the exposed core conductors and continuity for the shield conductors. An outer insulator enclosing the conductive sleeve. A method of splicing shielded wire cables using such a device is also presented herein.
