Calculation:
(1) De rating Factors for Bus bar:
- (1) Per Phase Bus Strip De rating Factor (K1):
- Bus bar Width(e) is 75mm and Bus bar Length per Phase(a) is 500mm so e/a is 75/500=0.15
- No of Bus bar per phase is 2 No’s.
- From following table value of de rating factor is 1.83
|
Number of Bus Bar Strip per Phase (K1) |

|
0.2 |
1 | 1.91 | 2.7 |
- (2) Bus bar Insulating Material De rating Factor (K2)

| with artificial ventilation | 1 |
- (6) Enclosure & Ventilation De rating Factor (K6)
- Bus bar Area per Phase = Bus width X Bus Thickness X Length of Bus X No of Bus bar per Phase
- Bus bar Area per Phase = 75x10xX500X2= 750000mm
- Total Bus bar Area for Enclosure= No of Circuit X( No of Phase + Neutral )X Bus bar Area per Phase
- Here we used Size of Neutral Bus is equal to Size of Phase Bus
- Total Bus bar Area for Enclosure=3X(3+1)X750000mm
- Total Bus bar Area for Enclosure=9000000 Sq.mm
- Total Enclosure Area= width X Height X Length
- Total Enclosure Area=1200x600x2400=1728000000 Sq.mm
- Total Bus bar Area for Enclosure / Total Enclosure Area =9000000/1728000000
- Total Bus bar Area for Enclosure / Total Enclosure Area=0.53%
- Bus bar Artificial Ventilation Scheme is without artificial ventilation so following Table
- De rating Factor is 0.95
| Volume of Enclosure & Ventilation De rating Factor (K6) | |||
| cross Section area of Bus bar/Total Bus Bar Area | Indoors ( Panel is well Ventilated) | Indoors ( Panel is Poorly Ventilated) | Outdoor |

- (7) Proxy Effect De rating Factor (K7)
- Bus bar Phase Spacing (p) is 400mm.
- Bus bar Width (e) is 75mm and Space between each bus of Phase is 75mm so
- Total Bus length of Phase with spacing (w) =75+75+75+75+75=225mm
- Bus bar Phase Spacing (p) / Total Bus length of Phase with spacing (w) = 400 / 225 =2

- Total De rating Factor= K1XK2XK3Xk4Xk5Xk6Xk7Xk8
- Total De rating Factor =1.83x1x1x0.8×0.9×0.95×0.82×0.88
- Total De rating Factor =0.90
(2) Bus bar Size Calculation:
- Desire Current Rating of Bus bar (I2) =630 Amp
- Current Rating of Bus bar after De rating Factor (I1)= I2 X De rating Factor or I2 / De rating Factor
- Current Rating of Bus bar after De rating Factor (I1)=630×0.9
- Current Rating of Bus bar after De rating Factor (I1)=697Amp
- Bus bar Cross Section Area as per Current= Current Rating of Bus bar / Current Density of Material
- Bus bar Cross Section Area as per Current= 697 / 1.6
- Bus bar Cross Section Area as per Current= 436 Sq.mm
- Bus bar Cross Section Area as per Short Circuit= Isc X√ ((K/( θtx100)x(1+ α20xθ) xt
- Bus bar Cross Section Area as per Short Circuit= 50000X√ ((1.166/( 100×100)x(1+ 0.00403×85) x1
- Bus bar Cross Section Area as per Short Circuit=626 Sq.mm
- Select Higher Size for Bus bar Cross section area between 436 Sq.mm and 626 Sq.mm
- Final Calculated Bus Bar Cross Section Area =626 Sq.mm
- Actual Selected Bus bar size is 75×10=750 Sq.mm
- We have select 2 No’s of Bus bar per Phase hence.
- Actual Bus bar cross section Area per Phase =750×2= 1500 Sq.mm
- Actual Cross Section Area of Bus bar =1500 Sq.mm
- Actual Bus bar Size is Less than calculated Bus bar size.
(3) Forces generated on Bus Bar due to Short Circuit Current
- Peak electro-magnetic forces between phase conductors (F1) = 2X(l/d)X(2.5xIsc)2/100000000
- Total width of Bus bar per Phase(w)=75+75+75=225mm =2.25cm
- Bus bar Phase to Phase Distance (d)=400+225=625mm=6.25cm
- Peak electro-magnetic forces between phase conductors (F1) =2x(50/63)x(2.5×50000)2/100000000
- Peak electro-magnetic forces between phase conductors (F1)=250 Kg /cm2
- Peak electro-magnetic forces between phase conductors (F1)=2.5 Kg /mm2
- Actual Forces at the head of the Supports or Bus Bar (F)=F1X(H+h/H)
- Actual Forces at the head of the Supports or Bus Bar (F)=2.5x(100+5/100)
- Actual Forces at the head of the Supports or Bus Bar (F)= 3 Kg /mm2
- Permissible Strength of Insulator (F’) is 10 Kg/mm2
- Actual Forces at the head of the Supports or Bus Bar is less than Permissible Strength
- Forces on Insulation is in within Limits
(4) Mechanical strength of the bus bars
- Mechanical strength of the bus bars=(F1X i /12)x(1/ Modulus of inertia of a bus bar )
| Value of Modulus of inertia of a bus bar or of a set of bus bars (i/v) | ||
| No of Bus Strip per Phase | Vertical Bus Bar (cm3) | Horizontal Bus Bar (cm3) |
| 1 | 1.66 | 16.66 |
| 2 | 14.45 | 33.33 |
| 3 | 33 | 50 |
- From above table Value of Modulus of inertia of a bus bar=14.45
- Mechanical strength of the bus bars=(250×50/12)X(1/14.45)
- Mechanical strength of the bus bars= 72 Kg/cm2
- Mechanical strength of the bus bars= 0.72 Kg/mm2
- Permissible Bus bar Strength is 12 Kg/mm2
- Actual Mechanical Strength is less than Permissible Strength
- Mechanical strength of Bus bar is in within Limit
(5) Temperature Rise Calculation
- Specified Maximum Temperature Rise (T1) is 35°c
- Calculated Maximum Temperature Rise (T2)=T/(log(I1/I2)1.64)
- Calculated Maximum Temperature Rise (T2)=35/(Log(697/630)1.64)
- Calculated Maximum Temperature Rise (T2)= 30°c
- Calculated Bus bar Temperature rise is less than Specified Max Temperature rise
- Temperature Rise is in within Limit
Results:
- Size of Bus bar = 2No’s 75x10mm per Phase.
- Total No of Feeder =3 No’s
- Total No’s of Bus bar = 6 No’s 75x10mm for Phase and 1No’s 75x10mm for Neutral.
- Forces at the head of the Supports or Bus Bar (F)= 3kg/mm2
- Mechanical strength of the bus bars= 0.7 Kg/mm2
- Maximum Temperature Rise=30°c

THIS IS GOOD REFERENCE FOR LV AND MV SWGR. DESIGNERS.
Extremely useful information
Thank u for this useful information.Great
Hi, Mr. Jignesh Parmar,
The above information is really useful for us who ever doing the design and selection of busbar for panel engineering.
Thanks for this information, kindly share electrical technical information to us.
Ganapathy.
thank alot for this valuable information however, I notice that you are considering derating factor for busbar calcualtion is 0.9 then after derating current rating shall be reduced but in your calculation it is increasing. can you please explain why it is so or it is only a typing mistake.
CAN I USE HALF GRADE COPPER BUS BAR 15X100 MM FOR 2500AMPS AC 50HZ
Actually the current will be divided by derating factor.
thank u sir, for this information

Thank u sir, this will help me a lot in my field of job…
Very Usefull document….
Power distribution load centers generally have 2 methods of current supply. Source current is either introduced at one end of the bus (top fed) with branch circuit loads distributed through taps and over-current devices along the bus. Many smaller capacity load centers (100-225 amperes) have current supplied through a main breaker connected to the mid-section of a bus. How is bus design affected with a center fed approach as opposed to a top fed approach? Did your calculation assume the top fed design approach? Thank you
Can you refer to relevant IS/IEEE/IEC Standard that you followed for these calculations? You may mail me at: “sreeraasi94@gmail.com”
Dear it will be helpful for me too have this reference, luca_211177@libero.it

For outdoor installation, factor k6 has to be 0.95,0.9 & 0.85. For Indoor installation with poor ventilation, k6 to be 0.65,0.6 & 0.5.
Thanks Mr. Parmar, I was looking for data related to the torque limits for the bus bar joints and its impact on temperature rise of bus bars during normal usage. Are there any methods to deduce temperature during full load conditions based on temperatures available during part load condition of the system ( like we have seen temperature rise near MCCB 630 A terminals of 55deg above ambient of 35 deg at a constant load of 300A, what would be temp at say 600A, is 55+35 = 90Deg acceptable at 50% load )
