BusRating

Electrical sizing of busbars

Conductor selection by ampacity, corona and short circuit, with a preliminary mechanical check of the rigid tubular bus.

Inside the program

BusRating screen: on the left, 525, 230 and 138 kV circuits with the selected conductors and three mechanical validation cases; in the middle, the ampacity of three conductors per IEEE 605, IEEE 738 and CIGRE TB 207; in the foreground, a rejected cable shown criterion by criterion.
