Patent ID: 7705512

Claim:
A dynamoelectric machine conductor, comprising: an electric machine bus including a central portion; a first electrically connectable site of the central portion connectable with a first flexible conductor; a first arm that extends from the central portion having a second electrically connectable site connectable with a second flexible conductor; a first at least one fused portion of the first arm having an orifice including a continuous outer boundary that defines, at least in part, first and second reduced cross sectional portions, the orifice extending through the first arm located between the first electrically connectable site and the second electrically connectable site, the first at least one fused portion being electrically interruptible to open a circuit between the first electrically connectable site and the second electrically connectable site; a second arm that extends from the central portion, having a third electrically connectable site connectable with a third flexible conductor; and a second at least one fused portion of the second arm having an orifice including a continuous outer boundary that defines, at least in part, first and second reduced cross sectional portions, the orifice extending through the second arm located between the first electrically connectable site and the third electrically connectable site, the second at least one fused portion being electrically interruptible to open a circuit between the first electrically connectable site and the third electrically connectable site.
