The required cross section 650.226 [Link] is less than actual cross section 1250 [Link] of the bus bar
selected. Hence, the bus bar size chosen is safe for the envisaged system.

Conclusion :
The de-rated Current rating 1238.51 amp of Panel selected is more than the required current rating 1000 amp
of Bus duct Bus bar. Hence, the bus bar size chosen is safe for the envisaged system.
