SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BOLTLESS BUSBAR JOINTS

Methods and systems are provided for assemblies including two busbars connected via boltless busbar joints, without fasteners. In one example, a method for connecting a first busbar to a second busbar without fasteners includes stamping the second busbar to form two slots separating a middle piece from prongs, bending the middle piece into a clip, and interposing the first busbar between the clip and the prongs. Additionally, contact areas of the first and second busbars are pre-treated with a surface texturing method.
