Title:
PROTECTION STRUCTURE FOR HIGH-VOLTAGE CABLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/055396
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A protection structure for a high-voltage cable has a step-up converter (63) and
a rear inverter (67) that are arranged separated from each other; a cable (71) extending
between the converter (63) and the rear inverter (67); a protector (21) provided
at at least a section of the route along which the cable (71) extends; and a flexible
tube surrounding, inside the protector (21), the cable (71) and freely bending
in the direction along which the cable (71) extends. When external force is applied
to the cable (71), the force is reduced by the protector (21) and the flexible tube.
The protection structure prevents an excessive impact from being applied to
the cable in a vehicle collision.
