    The document calculates the current carrying capacity of a busbar with dimensions of 101.6mm width and 6.35mm thickness operating at 95°C. It determines that the DC current rating is 1615.18A and the AC current rating accounting for skin effect is 1541.20A. It concludes that the busbar's current carrying capacity of over 1540A is sufficient for the required load of 630A.
