    The document provides guidelines for sizing busbars based on maximum permissible temperature and current load. It includes tables specifying the number and thickness of copper busbar bars recommended for different circuit breaker types and service currents, based on the temperature around the connections. The number and size of bars increases as the service current or connection temperature rises. An example is provided to illustrate using the tables to select appropriately sized busbars given specific conditions.

    Example
    Conditions:
    b drawout version
    b vertical connections
    b Ti: 40 C
    b service current: 1100 A.
    Solution :
    For Ti = 40 C use an NT12 or NW12 which can be
    connected with two 63 x 5 mm bars or with one
    63 x 10 mm bar.

    Note: the values indicated in these tables have been extrapolated from test data and theoretical
    calculations. These tables are only intended as a guide and cannot replace industrial experience
    or a temperature rise test.
