Busbar overlap ratio of high-voltage switchgear

Home / Busbar overlap ratio of high-voltage switchgear

Schneider Electric suggest an overlap of 5x the busbar thickness in their FAQ. The resistance ratio is the ratio of the resistance measured across the joint divided by the resistance of an equivalent length of plain busbar. From this figure it appears that the streamline effect rapidly decreases until the overlap/thickness ratio reaches a value of 2 when its decrease is. Busbars carry large amounts of current and are used in switchgear, transformers, and distribution boards.
