    Busbar Sizing: Installation Recommendations

    Uploaded by

    Ramesh Kumar
    The document provides installation recommendations and busbar sizing tables for Schneider Electric Masterpact circuit breakers. It includes: - Tables with maximum permissible busbar temperatures and recommended copper busbar thickness and widths for different circuit breaker models, service currents, and temperature rises around connections. - An example problem demonstrating how to use the tables to determine the appropriate busbar sizing for a given circuit breaker, service current, and connection temperature rise. - A note that the values in the tables are guidelines extrapolated from tests and calculations, and cannot replace experience or temperature rise testing.
