Calculation of Area of Cross Section of Al Busbars On S.C: Design Manual

The document provides calculations for determining the area of cross-section and temperature rise of aluminum busbars during a short circuit event. It gives the formula to calculate the area based on factors like short circuit current and duration. It also provides worksheets to calculate the initial and final temperature of the busbars, and to check the mechanical withstand capability of the busbar design and supports.

CALCULATION OF AREA OF CROSS SECTION OF Al BUSBARS ON S.C


A short circuit occurs on the bus bars when they are already loaded with a continuos current . The area of cross section of bus bars on short circuit is given by the formula A= Ik (1000)* (t)/[4.184 (Sh *D / Rr*Cr)* ln{1+Cr*(Tmax-T)} ]. Busbar Material Bus bar Temperature -o C (Initial-When Carrying the Continuos Current)=Qc(Give Value) Maximum Allowable Temp C =Qmax (Give Value) Short Circuit Current- KA rms (Give Value ) Duration of short circuit- Secs (Give Value) A = Sq mm (Calculates) S C Current Density =Amps/Sq mm (Calculates )
