5 Lessons Learned In My First Year As A Full Time Entrepreneur I am wondering if anyone can help me determine the requirements for spacing between bus bars and a panel enclosure? i am designing a panel assembly that will house a number of bus bars used for distributing 480 v 3 ph power to a separate panel assembly that houses a number of breakers. Hi can any body tell me what are the acceptable code values for contact resistance (bus ductor test) to bus sections, bus bars etc thank you.

From what i have seen tin plating is standard for most bus unless it is a critical point, such as where a breaker or cell racks in then silver plating is offered. Here in our facility, we have 400 & 600 amp 480 volt three phase buss ducts supplying power to all of our equipment and due to age and contamination, are beginning to experience ground fault and phase to phase failures in some areas. The lines entering a substation are lines. the bus is what the other side of the breakers are connected to. the bus is the common connection point for all the incoming lines and sources. this will depend on the substation bus configuration single bus, double bus, breaker and a half, ring bus, etc.

So when a piece of gear says the "bus bracing = 42ka", that is saying that the insulating support structure for the bus bars will survive the mechanical repulsion forces expressed between the bus bars during a fault with a magnitude of 42,000 amperes. The speed or rate of energy transfer from the vfd dc buss to the resistor is dependent on the resistance. with the dc voltage the same, more energy can be transferred to a lower ohm resistor over a given period of time. I was once told that 1" was required between adjacent phase bus bars, and given that i learned that the dielectric strength of air is approx. 3kv mm (7.62kv in), 1" is more than enough.
