Abstract

A direct mounting connector includes: six independent busbars for connecting the apparatus to two auxiliary machines for three-phase alternating current; two U-pole first terminal parts, two V-pole first terminal parts and two W-pole first terminal parts The six first terminal parts are connected to the apparatus at first ends of the respective six busbars, the two first terminal parts of the same pole are arranged adjacently to each other; and two sets, each set of which consists of a second U-pole terminal part, a second V-pole terminal part and a second W-pole terminal part The six second terminal parts are connected to the two auxiliary machines at second ends of the respective six busbars, the two sets arranged adjacently to each other having a distance therebetween. Busbar parts extend between the two sets of the second terminal parts.

Claims (10)

1. A direct mounting connector to be directly mounted on an apparatus, comprising:

six independent busbars for connecting the apparatus to two auxiliary machines of three-phase alternating current;

two first terminal parts of U-pole, two first terminal parts of V-pole and two first terminal parts of W-pole of three-phase alternating current, altogether the six first terminal parts being formed at first ends of the respective busbars and being to connect with the apparatus, the two first terminal parts of the same pole being arranged adjacently to each other; and

two sets, each set of which consists of a second terminal part of U-pole, a second terminal part of V-pole and a second terminal part of W-pole, altogether the six second terminal parts being formed at second ends of the respective busbars and being to connect with the auxiliary machines, the two sets being arranged adjacently to each other having a distance therebetween.

2. The direct mounting connector according to claim 1 , wherein the busbars include extended parts extending between the two sets of the second terminal parts.

3. The direct mounting connector according to claim 2 , wherein the first terminal parts connect with the corresponding second terminal parts through respective U-shaped bent parts.

4. The direct mounting connector according to claim 3 , wherein the second terminal part of the busbar continues to the extended part through a step part and the extended part is flush with the other extended part of the other busbar.

5. The direct mounting connector as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the busbars are molded in respective insulating resin parts.

6. The direct mounting connector according to claim 5 , wherein the U-shaped bent parts are molded in the respective insulating resin parts.

7. The direct mounting connector according to claim 6 , wherein current sensors are arranged inside the respective insulating resin parts, the first terminal parts penetrating through the respective current sensors.
