CALCULATION OF BUSBAR (Ampere)

Main Busbar Rating
INPUT DATA:

Voltage
Ampres
Busbar material
Density factor for Aluminium
No. of busbar runs (Phase)
No. of busbar runs (Neutral)
= 433 V
= 2500 A
= Aluminium
= 0.8
= 2
= 1

TO FIND :
Phase (W X T) in mm 125 x 12.7
Neutral (W X T) in mm 125 x 12.7
Total cross Sectional Area of busbar = 1587.5 Sq mm

Amount of Current can flow the Total cross sectional area = ?

W - Width of Busbar
T - Thickness of Busbar

SOLUTION:
Total current = W x T x No. of Runs x Density factor

= 125 x 12.7 x 2 x 0.8

Total current can flow = 2540 A

CONCLUSION: Hence the busbar selected for the full load current rating will be adequate for short time rating
