Abstract

The invention concerns an electrical assembly comprising a cooling module, in particular an active cooling module comprising a network in which a cooling liquid flows and an electrical busbar, where the said electrical busbar is attached directly to a portion for receiving the cooling module, where the said electrical assembly is configured to be added in a frame of a first electrical device.

Claims (22)

1. An electrical assembly comprising a cooling module, in particular an active cooling module comprising a network in which a cooling liquid flows and an electrical busbar, where the electrical busbar is attached directly to a reception portion of the cooling module, where the electrical assembly is configured to be added in a frame of a first electrical device; and

further comprising an electronic power module attached to a first surface of the cooling module and a capacitive link element attached to a second surface, opposite the first surface, of the cooling module; and

in which the reception portion comprises opposite faces which are respectively in the same plane as the first surface of the cooling module and as the second surface of the cooling module.

2. The electrical assembly according to claim 1 , in which the cooling module comprises a first portion comprising the first and the second surfaces, and in which the reception portion forms a fork extending from the first portion of the cooling module.

3. The electrical assembly according to claim 2 , in which the electrical busbar comprises:

a first portion held between two arms of the fork, and

a cross arm extending from one side of the first portion,

where the cross arm extends along the first surface of the cooling module and comprises connection terminals which are positioned opposite terminals of the power module and are then connected to them.

4. The electrical assembly according to claim 2 , in which the cooling module has a cooling liquid inlet and a cooling liquid outlet, where the cooling module is configured such that the cooling liquid flows between the electronic power module and the capacitive link element.

5. The electrical assembly according to claim 1 , in which the cooling module has a cooling liquid inlet and a cooling liquid outlet, where the cooling module is configured such that the cooling liquid flows between the electronic power module and the capacitive link element.

6. The electrical assembly according to claim 1 , in which the electrical busbar comprises a body made of an electrically insulating material holding together conductors of the electrical busbar, where the body is placed next to the cooling module so as to enable thermal dissipation of the heat of the conductors to the cooling module.

7. An electrical assembly comprising a cooling module, in particular an active cooling module comprising a network in which a cooling liquid flows and an electrical busbar, where the electrical busbar is attached directly to a reception portion of the cooling module, where the electrical assembly is configured to be added in a frame of a first electrical device; and

further comprising an electronic power module attached to a first surface of the cooling module and a capacitive link element attached to a second surface, opposite the first surface, of the cooling module; and

in which the cooling module comprises a first portion comprising the first and the second surfaces, and in which the reception portion forms a fork extending from the first portion of the cooling module.

8. The electrical assembly according to claim 7 , in which the electrical busbar comprises:

a first portion held between two arms of the fork, and

a cross arm extending from one side of the first portion,

where the cross arm extends along the first surface of the cooling module and comprises connection terminals which are positioned opposite terminals of the power module and are then connected to them.

9. The electrical assembly according to claim 8 , in which the cooling module has a cooling liquid inlet and a cooling liquid outlet, where the cooling module is configured such that the cooling liquid flows between the electronic power module and the capacitive link element.

10. The electrical assembly according to claim 8 , in which the electrical busbar comprises a body made of an electrically insulating material holding together conductors of the electrical busbar, where the body is placed next to the cooling module so as to enable thermal dissipation of the heat of the conductors to the cooling module.

11. The electrical assembly according to claim 7 , in which the cooling module has a cooling liquid inlet and a cooling liquid outlet, where the cooling module is configured such that the cooling liquid flows between the electronic power module and the capacitive link element.

12. The electrical assembly according to claim 7 , in which the electrical busbar comprises a body made of an electrically insulating material holding together conductors of the electrical busbar, where the body is placed next to the cooling module so as to enable thermal dissipation of the heat of the conductors to the cooling module.
