    Ithe: thermal current in enclosure correspondingto the ost severe installation conditions. Sealedenclosures do not allow natural air change, as the IPprotection index is greater than 30 (abient internalteperature< 50C).

    The current-carrying capacity in n bars is less thann ties the current-carrying capacity in one bar.Use n = 1.6 to 1.8 for a group of 2 bars, n = 2.2 to 2.4for 3 bars and n = 2.7 to 2.9 for 4 bars.The wider the bars, the ore coefficient n is affected,the ore difficult they are to cool and the higherthe utual inductance effects.The perissible current density is not thereforeconstant: it is approximately 3 A/mm2 for sall barsand falls to 1 A/2 for groups of large bars.

    Positioning bars edgewise encourages heatdissipation and is much the best option. If thebars have to be positioned flatwise (with thesupports in a vertical position) the current-

    carrying capacities must be reduced (see nextpage).

    Example: using a 12 x 4 mm rigid flat bar for 160 Aperissible I2t of the bar: 4.7 x 107 A2sProspective rms Ik: 10 kA (104 A)

    The theral stress liited by this device canthen be read by plotting the above value on the

    liitation curve given for the protection device(in this case, a DPX 250 ER 160 A): 5 x 105 A2s,value less than the I2t peritted by the bar.

    CHECkING THE PERmISSIBLE THERmAL STRESS

    The axiu theral stress value I2t taen into

    consideration for a short-circuit current of less than

    5 s is calculated using the formula It = KS, where:

    - k = 115 As0.5/ for flexible copper bars

    (max. temperature: 160C)

    - k = 135 As0.5/for large cross-section rigid

    copper bars (width greater than 50 ;max. temperature: 200C)

    - k = 143 As0.5/for sall cross-section rigid

    copper bars (width less than 50 ) and C-section

    bars (max. temperature: 220C)

    - k = 91 As0.5/ for rigid aluiniu bars

    (max. temperature: 200C)

    - S = bar cross-section in

    The conventional value of the short-tie withstand

    current with regard to theral stress, in relation

    to a period of 1 s, is expressed by the formula:

    Icw1s = It

    The liitation curves of the protection devices(DX and DPX) give the liited peak current accordingto the prospective short-circuit current (see Book 5Breaking and protection devices).The non-liited peak Ik curve corresponds to noprotection.

    The table belo gives the liited peak value (Ipk)directly for the axiu prospective short-circuitvalue equal to the breaking capacity (Icu) of thedevice.For loer prospective short-circuit values, readingthe curves ill provide an optiised value.

    when the busbar is protected by a non-liitingprotection device (for exaple DmX), the axiuvalue of the peak current is developed during thefirst half-period of the short circuit. This is referredto as the asyetric 1st peak.

    The relationship beteen the peak value and the rsvalue of the prospective short-circuit current is

    defined by the coefficient of asymmetry n:

    Ipk (peak) = n x prospective rs Ik Device Rating Ipk (peak) ax.

    E: spacing between conductors

    ith F in daN, I in A peak, and D and E in the same unit.

    In practice, this formula is only applicable to very long (D > 20 E) round conductors.When D is shorter, a correction, called the end factor is applied:
