Patent ID: 6890218

Claim:
A poly-phase connector to interconnect a poly-phase electrical bus and a poly-phase machine, the poly-phase connector comprising: an electrically insulating body comprising a first side and a second side; and at least three spaced electrically conductive connector components, each of the connector components comprising a first end and a second end, the first ends couplable to a respective phase of one of the poly-phase electrical bus and the poly-phase machine, and the second ends couplable to a respective phase of the other of the poly-phase electrical bus and the poly-phase machine, wherein each of the connector components is at least partially received in the electrically insulating body such that both the first end and the second end of each of the connector components are exposed, all connector components of the poly-phase connector are coplanar with, and parallel to, each other, and the first end of at least one of the connector components extends a distance from the electrically insulating body different from a distance which the first end of at least one of the other connector components extends from the electrically insulating body.
