An emotor connection arrangement for connecting power electronics of an electric or hybrid electric vehicle to an emotor. The emotor connection arrangement includes a junction box configured to extend from the power electronics to the emotor, and phase bars that extend in the junction box and electrically connect the power electronics to the emotor. A first access cover is removably connected to the junction box and configured to provide access for connecting the phase bars to the emotor, and a second access cover provides similar access for connecting the phase bars to the power electronics. In order to prevent overheating, the first access cover includes a cooling fluid channel with a cooling fluid inlet configured to be connected to a cooling fluid source and a cooling fluid outlet configured to be connected to a cooling fluid return.
