Multilayer neutral bus arrangement with three bushings
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11855515B2) discloses a multilayer neutral bus arrangement designed to efficiently distribute current between conducting layer elements to reduce heat loss without increasing the footprint. The arrangement includes a first conducting layer element, a second conducting layer element, and a plurality of bushings electrically connected to each other via the neutral bus arrangement. The magnetic field created between the conducting layer elements enables the distribution of current, with three bushings facilitating the connection between the conducting layer elements.
Furthermore, the patent details the configuration of the multilayer neutral bus arrangement, where the gap between the conducting layer elements and the use of insulative materials contribute to the electrical insulation of certain bushings. The arrangement is particularly suitable for use in a 3-phase electrical machine, such as a generator, where each lead is connected to one of the bushings to reduce heat losses. Additionally, a method is outlined for connecting an electrical machine to the multilayer neutral bus arrangement, emphasizing the importance of distributing current effectively to minimize heat loss during operation.
