Current load capacity of copper and aluminium busbars
The current-carrying capacity of a busbar depends on its cross-sectional area, the ambient temperature, and how it''s installed. For example, a 50
Current load capacity of copper and aluminium busbars
Current load capacity is the maximum value of the current flowing through the conductor in an unlimited period of time in certain conditions – it will heat up the conductor to the limit
