1. A busbar assembly comprising:
an annular ring body including:
a plurality of openings extending in an axial direction and configured to receive electrical wire connections, and
a plurality of phase conductors extending in a circumferential direction;
a high-voltage connection portion having a planar face extending in a plane tangential to the ring body and disposed radially outwardly of the ring body, and including:
a plurality of high voltage conductors each configured to engage a respective one of the plurality of phase conductors;
a plurality of connectors each attached to a respective one of the plurality of high voltage conductors; and
a seal arranged on a periphery of the high-voltage connection portion, wherein the seal is arranged within a groove formed on the high-voltage connection portion such that the seal is retained between opposing walls of the groove;
wherein the plurality of connectors are exposed to the planar face of the high-voltage connection portion.
