ELECTRICAL BUSBAR SIZING

[@tamjidkabir1543]

I have watched all the tutorials in your channel. Great contribution to the engineering community. Highly appreciated...❤❤

[@jhontejada5773]

Very intelligent ; i cannot see this approach in my prevuous studies all things is new for me...good job man!!!

[@soumensamanta2480]

Thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge with us. Please make a detailed video on selecting a Power transformer. 🙏

[@shavaizkhan8165]

Please keep making such videos your videos are excellent

Is this Melson and Both equation applicable for Aluminum bus bar also?

[@MrPcwortex]

Great video. I'm trying to find information about the minimum distance between copper bars with different potentials depending on voltage. Maybe you know where I can find this information?

[@wesleygnanaraj8229]

Nice

Hello Sir, is this busbar calculation applicable for HV traction battery's Cell to cell and module to module busbars??

[@prakashsatapathy1034]

Awesome. Please make a video on diesel generator sizing

Does the length of bus bar determined current it will carry or the thickness of bar determine the current it will carry. Thank you

[@theelectricalsolutionschan1095]

Thanks for your comment. No, Busbar length doesn't determine the current capacity. However, thickness of the busbar is one of the major factors which determines the current capacity.

[@kittipotkaewnade5113]

From the video, after calculation you use only continuous current to consider busbar size. What about short-time withstand current? Do we also need it to consider busbar size?

[@theelectricalsolutionschan1095]

Thanks for your comments.
Once the busbar rating is decided (continuous and short circuit rating), the Continuous current rating is used for deciding the busbar cross-section.

i think coeffecient k1 is mistakenly calculated. if e=10mm and a=120mm then e/a=0.0833, therefore, k1 should be 1.76 or 1.8?

[@theelectricalsolutionschan1095]

Thanks.
Yes, you are correct. The value of e/a has been erroneously calculated as 0.12 instead 0.08. Hence value of K1 will have to be changed accordingly.

What standar (ANSI or IEC ) is the base of Busbar Rating?

[@theelectricalsolutionschan1095]

Busbar rating is based on busbar property (Cross-section, No of parallel busbars, section profile, support spacing, etc.) and not on any particular standard.

[@iroshanlahiru609]

Bus bar current capacity 630A , its according Thumb calculations suitable 50*10 , but standard chart show 50*5 Which is correct ?

[@theelectricalsolutionschan1095]

Thumb rule calculation will give you a very high Busbar cross section as it based only on current density of the busbar material. But actual busbar sizing requires taking into account various other factors as explained in the video.

[@mandardahi]

Thanks for informative video. We refer K.C. Agrawal's book for busbar sizing in which skin and proximity effects, busbar supports also are taken into consideration. What is your take on this ?

[@theelectricalsolutionschan1095]

Thanks for your comments. Skin effect and proximity effect do influence the busbar size. These effects basically increase the impedance of the conductor which in-turn reduces its current carrying capacity. Impacts of these effects are captured through the Conditions Co-efficients K1 & K3 in the MELSON and BOTH formula. Busbar supports design and distance between the supports are designed based on the short circuit rating of the busbar and not the other way around. Accordingly, once the Electrical rating is finalized, the supports and gap between can be designed (this is mostly carried out by the Panel manufacturers).

@@theelectricalsolutionschan1095 Thanks for the clarification

[@itachiiQuang]

Can your gave to me the document iec or ieee or evelent ? Pls help me

[@theelectricalsolutionschan1095]

Thanks for your comment. IEC & IEEE standard references are indicated in the video. These standards can be bought from various sources. However, copying and distribution is not allowed.

[@noname-ug2qx]

Short circuit calculation upto the busbar is incorrect. Impedance of the incomer, transformer and cable should be considered. Other than that, the concept if informative.

[@theelectricalsolutionschan1095]

Thanks for your comment. The Short Circuit calculation used in the example is a short cut one and neglects all impedances except transformer impedance. This will result in the maximum fault current that will be seen by the busbar as explained in the video.
