ACB Busbar Sizing

This document provides busbar sizing recommendations for Masterpact circuit breakers based on temperature and current load. It includes a table with the number and size of copper busbars recommended for different Masterpact models based on the maximum service current and temperature around the circuit breaker. An example is also given of determining the proper busbar sizing for a 1800A load at 50 degrees C temperature, recommending three 80x5mm bars or two 63x10mm bars. The document notes that the values are only a guide and cannot replace testing or experience.

With Masterpact NT, it is recommanded to use 50 mm wideness bars (see “Recommended busbars drilling”).

Example
Conditions:
b drawout version
b horizontal busbars
b Ti: 50 °C
b service current: 1800 A.
Solution:
For Ti = 50 °C, use an NW20 which can be connected
with three 80 x 5 mm bars or two 63 x 10 mm bars.

Note: the values indicated in these tables have been extrapolated from test data and theoretical

or a temperature rise test.
