To calculate the cross-sectional area of the copper busbar, it is necessary to calculate the permissible current of the busbar. One of the correction coefficients that must be multiplied in this current is "the copper busbar surface temperature correction coefficient". How should I find this coefficient? Is there a table for this purpose?
Icont = Itable × k1 × k2 × k3 × k4 × k5
Calculation of the cross-sectional area of the tire The calculation ofthe permissible current that can pass through the busbar is done using the following formula and applying correction coefficients:
(1-6) Icont = Itable × k1 × k2 × k3 × k4 × k5
Icont: allowed continuous busbar current (final)
Itable: allowed continuous busbar current according to table (6-9) or (6-10)
k1: the correction factor related to the conductivity of the busbar if the conductivity of the copper busbar used is not 56 m/Ωmm2 or the conductivity of the aluminum busbar is not 35.1 m/Ωmm2. Figure (6-11)
k2: correction factor related to ambient temperature other than 35 degrees Celsius and tire surface temperature other than 65 degrees Celsius (Figure 12-6)
k3: correction factor related to the installation of tires in a flat or vertical installation with a length of more than 2 meters (Table 7-6)
k4: correction factor related to skin effect in alternating current up to 60HZ according to the layout of the busbars, if no branch is taken at a distance of more than 2 meters from the busbar (Figures 13-6 and 14-6)
k5: the correction factor related to the reduction of the current capacity of the tire at a height of more than 1000 meters above sea level (Table 8-6)
