Patent attributes
An e-machine is disclosed that comprises a stator, a terminal block, and a plurality of interface conductors. The stator is disposed inside a housing in a wet portion of the housing that contains transmission fluid. The terminal block is attached to the housing and is electrically connected to an inverter system controller of the e-machine. The terminal block is disposed in a dry portion of the housing that does not contain transmission fluid. The plurality of interface conductors each include a hollow conductive body, a stator lead lug on a first end connected to windings of the stator, and a busbar on a second end connected to the terminal block. A seal is assembled at an intermediate location in a groove on an outer surface of the hollow conductive body. A plug is assembled inside the hollow conductive body.
