2 A/mm² — the most conservative value, used for busbars inside enclosed switchgear with limited ventilation. In this new edition the calculation of current-carrying capacity has been greatly simplified by the provision of exact formulae for some common busbar configurations and graphical methods for others. The current rating is calculated from the conductor cross-sectional area, material (copper or aluminium), and maximum.

In , a busbar (also bus bar) is a metallic strip or bar, typically housed inside,, and for local high current power distribution, transmission, or switching substations. Busbar design in switchgear ensures safe, reliable power distribution by balancing current capacity, thermal performance, mechanical strength, insulation, and standards compliance. Busbars are constructed from conductive metal bars, typically made of copper or aluminum, with a large cross-sectional area and insulated by specialized materials. These metal bars are connected together using welds or bolts, forming a complete conductive system. In most assemblies you will find horizontal main bars, vertical risers, neutral and equipment-ground buses, and purpose-designed.

Here are the key technical parameters considered in sizing: Rated Current (Ir): Continuous current the busbar must carry without exceeding permissible temperature rise. The IEC 61439 standard applies to busbar assemblies that will be installed in electrical applications with a voltage rating up to 1000 V (for AC) and 1500 V (for DC). Its sandwich structure and closely arranged conductors facilitate overall heat dissipation, and the compactnes of its structure reduces loss and voltage drop.
