An inverter drive assembly includes a first array of inverters, a second array of inverters spaced from the first array of inverters and defining a plenum therebetween, and a crossover bus bar spanning the plenum and electrically connecting the first array of inverters to the second array of inverters. The crossover bus bar includes a first laminated bus section electrically connected to the first array of inverters, a second laminated bus section electrically connected to the second array of inverters, and a solid bus connection interconnecting the first laminated bus section with the second laminated bus section.
