    Abstract

    An electrical conductor for use in a battery of an electrically powered motor vehicle has a busbar enclosed by a first layer. A second layer is placed on the side of the first layer facing away from the electrical conductor.

    Claims

    1. An electrical conductor for use in a battery of an electrically powered motor vehicle, the electrical conductor comprising a busbar and being enclosed by a first layer, and a second layer being disposed on a side of the first layer facing away from the electrical conductor.

    2. The electrical conductor according to claim 1 characterized in that the first layer is an electrically insulative layer.

    3. The electrical conductor according to claim 1 characterized in that the first layer is wrapped around the electrical conductor.

    4. The electrical conductor according to claim 1 characterized in that the first layer is coated around the electrical conductor.

    5. The electrical conductor according to claim 1 characterized in that the first layer is sleeved around the electrical conductor.

    6. The Electrical conductor according to claim 1 characterized in that the first layer is taped around the electrical conductor.

    7. The electrical conductor according to claim 1 characterized in that the second layer comprises at least one thermoplastic material.

    8. The electrical conductor according to claim 1 characterized in that the second layer is extruded onto the first layer.

    Description

    DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

    [0077] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an exemplary electrical conductor.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION

    [0078] FIG. 1 shows an elongated electrical conductor 2. The electrical conductor 2 is designed as a thermally insulated busbar 1.

    [0079] Along its longitudinal axis 3, the insulated busbar 1 has rounded edges 4.

    [0080] A first layer 5 is wrapped around the insulated busbar 1.

    [0081] On the side of the first layer 5 facing away from the insulated busbar 1, a second layer 6 is shown in FIG. 1.

    [0082] So in FIG. 1, the busbar 1 is shown with a portion of the electrical conductor 2 exposed, and a first layer 5 exposed for ease of illustration.
