how do i calc busbar size for a rated current?..

Answer / goutam ghosh

Busbar size for a rated current can be calculated from
CURRENT DENSITY. Current density for copper is 160
amps/sqcm.(1000 Amp/sqinch.)and for Aluminium the same is
130 Amp/sqcm.(800Amp/sqinch.).Say for 200 amps reated
current Aluminium busbar of cross section 30mm X 5mm or
Copper busbar having cross section 25mm X 5mm should be
used according to nearest availability at market.

I have a shop heater with a 1/3 hp capacitor start, induction motor driving the fan. Intermittently, the fan motor speeds up significantly for several seconds (15-60 sec) then slows to normal operating speed. The manufacturer suggested changing the capacitor which made no sense, but I did it to no avail. Could this possibly be caused by the centrifugal switch intermittently reconnecting the start winding?
