14. A busbar assembly comprising:
a plurality of conductors including:
a first set of two conductors of the plurality of conductors stacked on top of each other in a radial direction, and a second set of two conductors of the plurality of conductors axially spaced away from the first set of two conductors and stacked on top of each other in the radial direction; and
a carrier molded around the plurality of conductors such that portions of the plurality of conductors are exposed to define electrical contact sites on a radially inner surface of the carrier and a radially outer surface of the carrier;
wherein the carrier includes a plurality of retainers each dimensioned to retain an electrical wire adjacent a respective contact site.
