  2. Skin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

    In Engineering Electromagnetics, Hayt points out that in a power station a busbar for alternating current at 60 Hz with a radius larger than one-third of an inch (8 mm) is a waste of copper, [20] and in practice bus bars for heavy AC current are rarely more than half an inch (12 mm) thick except for mechanical reasons.

  3. Busbar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busbar

    Copper busbar in a panel 1500 ampere copper busbars within a power distribution rack for a large building. In electric power distribution, a busbar (also bus bar) is a metallic strip or bar, typically housed inside switchgear, panel boards, and busway enclosures for local high current power distribution.

  4. Current density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_density

    In electromagnetism, current density is the amount of charge per unit time that flows through a unit area of a chosen cross section. [1] The current density vector is defined as a vector whose magnitude is the electric current per cross-sectional area at a given point in space, its direction being that of the motion of the positive charges at this point.

  5. Copper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper

    The maximum possible current density of copper in open air is approximately 3.1 × 10 6 A/m 2, above which it begins to heat excessively. [17] Copper is one of a few metallic elements with a natural color other than gray or silver. [18] Pure copper is orange-red and acquires a reddish tarnish when exposed to air.

  6. Alternating current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current

    For example, the skin depth of a copper conductor is approximately 8.57 mm at 60 Hz, so high-current conductors are usually hollow to reduce their mass and cost. This tendency of alternating current to flow predominantly in the periphery of conductors reduces the effective cross-section of the conductor.

  7. Bus duct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_duct

    5000 ampere copper and 4000 A aluminium bus ducts. In electric power distribution, a bus duct (also called busway) typically uses sheet metal, welded metal [1] or cast resin to contain and isolate copper or aluminium busbars for the purpose of conducting a substantial current of electricity.

  8. Electrical busbar system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_busbar_system

    Enclosure comparison with normal wiring & with busbar system. Electrical busbar systems [1] (sometimes simply referred to as busbar systems) are a modular approach to electrical wiring, where instead of a standard cable wiring to every single electrical device, the electrical devices are mounted onto an adapter which is directly fitted to a current carrying busbar.

  9. Isolated-phase bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolated-phase_bus

    A smaller type of isolated-phase bus is manufactured for direct-current circuits; this may be used in the field circuit of a generator. Currently, the isolated-phase bus world record current is 52,000 A, for bus manufactured by Alstom Power (since 2015 General Electric Power) and installed at the Civaux Nuclear Power Plant, in 1997.
