Very compact so provides space savings.

Where aesthetics have to be considered,
busbar trunking can be installed with natural
galvanized, aluminium, or painted
finish. Special colours to match switchboards or a
specific colour scheme are
also available on request.
10.
Busbar trunking has several key
advantages over conventional forms of power
distribution including: -
11. (a)
Reduced, onsite installation times when compared to hard-wired systems thus
leading
to cost savings.
a. Increased flexibility in design and
versatility with regard to future
modifications.
b. Increased safety features brought about by the
use of high quality,
manufactured components, which provide greater safety and
peace of mind
for specifies, contractors and end-users.
12. Uneven

13.
Busbar trunking has tap-off points at
regular intervals along each length to allow power to
be taken off and
distributed to where it is needed. Because it is fully self-contained it LABELS

only to be mechanically mounted and electrically connected to be operational.
transformer metal content
14.
For higher ratings of power distribution
we need to have multiple runs of cable. In such
conditions unbalanced
distribution of current takes place and causing overheating of some
cable. This
is completely avoided in the BTS systems.
15.
When multiple runs of cables are used it
often leads to improper end connections thereby
causing overheating of
contacts, burning of cables ends, and is a major cause of fire. This
is
completely avoided in Bus Bar Trunking systems.
Current
carrying capacity
The current-carrying
capacity of a busbar is usually determined by the maximum
temperature at which
the bar is permitted to operate, as defined by national and
international
standards such as British Standard BS 159, American Standard ANSI
C37.20, etc.
These standards give maximum temperature rises as well as maximum
ambient
temperatures.
BS 159 stipulates a
maximum temperature rise of 50°C above a 24 hour mean ambient
temperature of up
to 35°C, and a peak ambient temperature of 40°C.
ANSI C37.20 alternatively
permits a temperature rise of 65°C above a maximum ambient
of 40°C, provided
that silver-plated (or acceptable alternative) bolted terminations are
used. If
not, a temperature rise of 30°C is allowed.
A very approximate
method of estimating the current carrying capacity of a copper busbar
is to
assume a current density of 2 A/mm2 (1250 A/in2) in still air. This method
should
only be used to estimate a likely size of busbar, the final size being
chosen after
consideration has been given to the calculation methods. Refer
catalogue of
manufacturers.
The more popular thumb
rule being followed in India is to assume current density of 1.0

for Aluminium and 1.6 Amps for Copper for any standard rectangular

Busbars
Reduce System Costs
A laminated busbar will
lower manufacturing costs by decreasing assembly time as well
as internal
material handling costs. Various conductors are terminated at customer
specified locations to eliminate the guesswork usually associated with assembly
operating
procedures. A reduced parts count will reduce ordering, material
handling and inventory
costs.
Bus
bars Improve Reliability
Laminated bus bars can help your organization
build quality into processes. The
reduction of wiring errors results in fewer
reworks, lower service costs and lower quality
costs.
Bus
bars Increase Capacitance
Increased capacitance results in decreasing
characteristic impedance. This will ultimately
lead to greater effective signal
suppression and noise elimination. Keeping the dielectrics
thin and using
dielectrics with a high relative K factor will increase capacitance.
Eliminate
Wiring Errors
By replacing a standard
cable harnesses with bus bars, the possibility for miss-wirings is
eliminated.
Wiring harnesses have high failure rates relative to bus bars, which have
virtually none. These problems are very costly to repair. Adding bus bars to
your systems
is effective insurance.
Bus
bars Lower Inductance
Any conductor carrying current will develop an
electromagnetic field. The use of thin
parallel conductors with a thin
dielectric laminated together minimizes the effect of
inductance on electrical
circuits. Magnetic flux cancellation is maximized when opposing
potentials are
laminated together. Laminated bus bars have been designed to reduce the
proximity effect in many semiconductor applications as well as applications
that involve
high electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Bus
bars Lower Impedance
Increasing the capacitance and reducing the
inductance is a determining factor in
eliminating noise. Keeping the dielectric
thickness to a minimum will accomplish the
highly desired low impedance.
Bus
bars Provide Denser Packaging
The use of wide, thin conductors laminated
together led to decreased space requirements.
Laminated bus bars have helped
decrease total system size and cost.
Bus
bars Provide Wider Variety of Interconnection Methods
The flexibility of bus bars has allowed an
unlimited number of interconnection styles to
choose from. Bushings,
embossments, and fasten tabs are most commonly used.
Bus
bars Improve Thermal Characteristics
The wide, thin conductors are favourable to
allowing better airflow in systems. As
package sizes decrease, the cost of
removing heat from systems has greatly increased. A
bus bar cannot only reduce
the overall size required, but it can also improve airflow with
its sleek design.

1) Aluminium
busbar for 2000A, 35 kA for 1 sec withstand – From the table the
minimum
cross-section needed would be 443 mm2. Thus we can select a 100mm x 5mm
busbar
as the minimum cross-section. Considering a current density of 1A/ mm2
by
considering temperature as well as
skin effect, we shall require 4 x 100mm x 5mm
busbars for this case.
2) Copper
busbar for 2000A, 35 kA for 1 sec withstand – From the table the minimum
cross-section needed would be 285 mm2. Thus we can select a 60mm x 5mm busbar
as
the minimum cross-section. Considering a current density of 1.6A/ mm2 by
considering
temperature as well as skin effect, we shall require 4 x 60mm x 5mm
busbars for this
case.
Thus, by using the above formula and table, we

can easily select busbars for our
switchboards.

Temperature rise
During
the short circuiting, the bus bar should be able to withstand the thermal as
well as
mechanical stress. When a sort circuiting takes place, the temperature
rise is directly
proportional to the squire of the rms value of the fault
current. The duration of short
circuiting is very small i.e. one second till
the breakers opens and clears the fault. The
heat dissipation through
convection and radiation during this short duration is negligible
and all the
heat is observed by the busbar itself. The temperature rise due to the fault can
be calculated by applying the formulae.
T

Let's take busbar c/s = 250x25mm
Number runs can have = 2Runs
Current density of copper = 1.6Amps/mm2
Calculate: 250x25x2x1.6 = 20000Amps

The article above provides a tabulation for selection of different busbar sizes for
switchboard. The heading on the table states "current carrying capacity in amp ( copper
) at 35 deg.C". Can you please clarify if the specified 35 deg.C is the ambient
temperature value or the temperature rise of the busbar? If the 35 deg C is the
temperature rise value, then what is the ambient temperature that is applicable for the
values given in the tabulation? Also what would be the applicable derating factors for
different temperature rise values? Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

This drug test is used by businesses and law enforcement, and it is extremely successful
at identifying drug traces when compared to blood and urine samples. Before getting
results from a hair follicle drug test, a chunk or even a single hair (typically from the root
or follicle) must be sent to a laboratory overnight. Drug residues can commonly be found
in a person's hair for up to three months. This happens because a hair follicle's blood
vessels are in constant touch with the bloodstream, allowing toxins to accumulate. When
going to the sauna, whether to detox for drug tests or any other reason, it's important to
stay hydrated and drink lots of water. In just a short amount of time, you could lose a
significant amount of sweat and increase your risk of dehydration. Visit:
