Copper busbar in a panel 1500 ampere copper busbars within a power distribution rack for a large building. In electric power distribution, a busbar (also bus bar) is a metallic strip or bar, typically housed inside switchgear, panel boards, and busway enclosures for local high current power distribution.
5000 ampere copper and 4000 A aluminium bus ducts. In electric power distribution, a bus duct (also called busway) typically uses sheet metal, welded metal [1] or cast resin to contain and isolate copper or aluminium busbars for the purpose of conducting a substantial current of electricity.
IEC 60055 Paper-insulated metal-sheathed cables for rated voltages up to 18/30 kV (with copper or aluminium conductors and excluding gas-pressure and oil-filled cables) IEC 60059 IEC standard current ratings; IEC 60060 High-voltage test techniques; IEC 60061 Lamp caps and holders together with gauges for the control of interchangeability and safety
Enclosure comparison with normal wiring & with busbar system. Electrical busbar systems [1] (sometimes simply referred to as busbar systems) are a modular approach to electrical wiring, where instead of a standard cable wiring to every single electrical device, the electrical devices are mounted onto an adapter which is directly fitted to a current carrying busbar.
Isolated-phase bus is made in ratings from 3000 amperes to 45,000 amperes, and rated for voltages from 5000 volts up to about 35,000 volts. In the larger current ratings, dry air is forced through the enclosures and within the tubular conductors for forced-air cooling of the conductors. The cooling air is recirculated through a heat exchanger.
In Engineering Electromagnetics, Hayt points out that in a power station a busbar for alternating current at 60 Hz with a radius larger than one-third of an inch (8 mm) is a waste of copper, [20] and in practice bus bars for heavy AC current are rarely more than half an inch (12 mm) thick except for mechanical reasons.
A single insulated conductor in free air has 70 A rating. Ampacity rating is normally for continuous current, and short periods of overcurrent occur without harm in most cabling systems. Electrical code rules will give ratings for wiring where short-term loads are present, for example, in a hoisting motor.
One important property of the insulation which affects the current-carrying capacity of the wire is the maximum conductor temperature. This, in combination with the ambient temperature and ability of the environment to absorb heat, determines the amount of tolerable copper loss in the wire, and therefore its size in relation to the load current ...
