how to calculate bus-bar sizes? (copper bus-bars)..

Answer / ankit trivedi

TO SELECT PROPER BUSBAR WE SHOULD KNOW THE LOAD CURRENT &
CROSS-SECTION AREA OF THE MATERIAL WHICH IS GOING TO BE
USED. IE CU OR AL.

I.e A CU. BUSBAR OF 25x6 Sq.mm. WILL CARRY THE CURRENT AS
BELOW

25X6 = 150 (cross section area)
150X1.6 =240A
THE BUS BAR OF 25X6mm. WILL CARRY 240A CURRENT, WHERE 1.6
IS GLOBLE SAFTY FACTOR.

How to find Cable size? Caterpillar generator produce (Two generators) 127*2=254 amp at 11 kv . What would be the cable size (XLPE) to supply 256 amp at 11 kv? Air or surrounding Temperature is 32 degree C. Cable will go under ground at 2.5 feet depth. Group Rating Factors is 3 cables. Clearance between cables is 7 cm. Soil Temperature (Ambient) 28o C Soil Thermal Resistivity is 1.2 K.m/W I would like to use 3 separate single core instead of using 3 core cable. Some says I should use three separate single core 120RM cables. Some says 70RM .some says 95. I m totally confused. Is there ant specific rule to determine cable size? What would be the LT cable size to flow 500 Amp current? Ifte My e mail address is ifte13@yahoo.com Anyone please send me the answer to my e mail address, i will be very glad.
