Cross Sectional Area Considerations and Determination INPUT
The required cross sectional area of a copper conductor for a given amperage
requirement and a temperature rise of 30 C max from ambient can be determined by Amp 800.00
the following formula:
N 2
Formula (2.7)
A = 300 x l x [1 + .075 (N - 1)] Sq. Mils = Sq. Mils 258000
Where, Sq.mm 166.5
l = curent in amperes Sq.in. 0.2580
N = number of conductors

For multiple layer bus bars, the cross sectional area calculated for each conductor should
be increased by approximately 7% to account for the decrease in heat dissipation
between conductors. This is already accounted for in formula (2.7) above.

Conductor Thickness and Width Calculations

The width calculation for a given cross sectional area can be determined by selecting an
appropriate standard thickness and using the following formula:

Formula (2.8)
conductor width in inches : w=A /t = Inch 2.774
Where,
A = cross sectional area as calculated from formula (2.7)
t = conductor thickness in inches selected from the list below

Available Standard Alloy 110 Thickness copper conductor:

0.020", 0.032", 0.040", 0.062", 0.093", 0.125", 0.187", 0.250", 0.375", 0.500", 0.750"

For a given cross sectional area and taking into consideration the space and structural
application requirements, the combination of a very thin and wide conductor, or having a
maximum w/t ratio, has the following benefits:
Inductance is minimized; formula (2.5)
Capacitance is maximized; formula (2.4)
Low characteristic impedance

Resistance
Conductor resistance is calculated from the resistivity of the conductor material and the
cross-sectional area of the conductor:
Formula (2.1)
R1 = p / A Milli / foot 0.031
Where,
p = resistivity in ohms x sq mils per foot (from table 3) ( SQmils/ ft) 8.1
A = cross sectional area in sq mils calculated from formula (2.7)

Recalculate the resistance at that temperature to check the impact on bus bar performance.
Formula (2.2)
R2 = R1 [1 + (T2-T1)] ohms/foot 0.402

Where,
R2 = resistance at new temperature in ohms/foot
R1 = resistance at 20 C in ohms/foot
T1 = 20 C 20
T2 = new operating temperature in C 50
= temperature coefficient of resistivity of the material (from table 3) 0.393
Voltage Drop Calculation
The voltage drop can be calculated using Ohm's Law

Formula (2.3)
V = R x l x l , @ 20 C Milli V 7685.58
V = R x l x l , @ 50 C V 98.299
Where,
V = voltage drop in volts in the entire conductor length
R = resistance in ohms/foot as calculated from formula (2.1) or (2.2) 0.031
l = conductor length in feet 306
l = current in amperes given by the amperage requirements of the pplication 800.00
If the voltage drop does not meet the application requirements, consider increasing the
cross sectional area to lower the conductor resistance.

Capacitance

The capacitance is directly proportional to the conductor area and the dielectric constant,
and inversely proportional to the insulation thickenss, as shown by this formla:

Formula (2.4)
C = 0.224 (k) (w) (l) / d picrofards 3879140.4223
microfards 3.8791404223

k = dielectric constant of the insulation used 8.5

w = conductor width in inches 2.774188
l = conductor length in inches 3672
d = thickness of dielectric in inches 0.005

Low inductance is a critical element for controlled and efficient operation of the bus bar as it
Inductance
prevents excessive transient overshoots. The inductance of a two layer bus bar can be
calculated by using this formula:

Formula 2.5)
L = 31.9 (l ) d / w nano Henrys 211.12
Where,
l = length of conductor in inches
d = dielectric thickness in inches
w = conductor width in inches

Characteristic Impedance
Low characteristic impedance improves the bus bar performance for AC loads, or during the
transition when load currents are switching.

Formula (2.6)
= (L/C) = Ohms 0.0073772752
Where,
L = inductance
C = capacitance
Assumption: Effective loss less conductors and dielectric

if you enter 8 instead of 08 for the wire size, you will get the same results as entering 14 AWG wire. Very bad!

lights, lower voltage gives longer life, but also less light. For better motor longevity, try to keep the motor voltage drop less than
optimum. (There is already a 4% drop between 120V and 115V)

Interesting corollary: If the line voltage doubles (120V > 240V), the voltage drop decreases by 50%. In other words, the same

AWG Wire Sizes (see table below)
AWG: In the American Wire Gauge (AWG), diameters can be calculated by applying the formula D(AWG)=.00592 ((36-AWG)/39) inch. For the 00, 000,
0000 etc. gauges you use -1, -2, -3, which makes more sense mathematically than "double nought." This means that in American wire gage every 6
gauge decrease gives a doubling of the wire diameter, and every 3 gauge decrease doubles the wire cross sectional area. Similar to dB in signal and
power levels. An approximate form of this formula contributed by Mario Rodriguez is D = .460 * (57/64) (awg +3) or D = .460 * (0.890625)(awg +3).

Metric Wire Gauges (see table below)

Metric Gauge: In the Metric Gauge scale, the gauge is 10 times the diameter in millimeters, so a 50 gauge metric wire would be 5 mm in diameter.
Note that in AWG the diameter goes up as the gauge goes down, but for metric gauges it is the opposite. Probably because of this confusion, most of
the time metric sized wire is specified in millimeters rather than metric gauges.
Load Carrying Capacities (see table below)
The following chart is a guideline of ampacity or copper wire current carrying capacity following the Handbook of Electronic Tables and Formulas for
American Wire Gauge. As you might guess, the rated ampacities are just a rule of thumb. In careful engineering the voltage drop, insulation
temperature limit, thickness, thermal conductivity, and air convection and temperature should all be taken into account. The Maximum Amps for Power
Transmission uses the 700 circular mils per amp rule, which is very very conservative. The Maximum Amps for Chassis Wiring is also a conservative
rating, but is meant for wiring in air, and not in a bundle. For short lengths of wire, such as is used in battery packs you should trade off the resistance
and load with size, weight, and flexibility. NOTE: For installations that need to conform to the National Electrical Code, you must use their guidelines.
Contact your local electrician to find out what is legal!
