Patent ID: 7394632

Claim:
A power processing module for supplying power to a motion control device, the power processing module comprising: a housing; a first power input terminal extending through the housing; a first power output terminal extending through the housing; branch circuit protection circuitry; a contactor; and a plurality of sets of bus bars, including: a first set of bus bars coupling the first power input terminal to the branch protection circuitry, the first set of bus bars being flat strips having a first preformed 90° turn within in a first plane and second 90° turn configuring the bus bars to extend into a second plane that is perpendicular to the first plane to provide tabs in the second plane received by the branch protection circuitry, a second set of bus bars coupling the branch protection circuitry to the contactor, the second set of bus bars being flat strips having a first preformed 90° turn within in a first plane and second 90° turn configuring the bus bars to extend into a second plane that is perpendicular to the first plane to provide parallel tabs in the second plane at each end received by the branch protection circuitry and the contactor, and a third set of bus bars coupling the contactor to the first power output terminal, the third set of bus bars being flat strips having a first preformed 90° turn within in a first plane and second 90° turn configuring the bus bars to extend into a second plane that is perpendicular to the first plane to provide tabs in the second plane received by the contactor, wherein the branch circuit protection circuitry, the contactor, and the sets of bus bars are enclosed within the housing.
