Busbar connection A high current (> 300 A) busbar connection is represented below.
Cable Bus System The connection of a high current (> 300 A) cable bus system that
consists of several cables is represented below. In this system, less
conductor material is needed due to better cooling of separate
conductors.

Note: The paint should be removed to allow a good connection to the cabinet frames
throughout the whole perimeter of the metal conduit (or a bus duct). The metal conduit
(or the bus duct metal) should be electrically continuous throughout its complete
length.
It is recommended to arrange the cables as
shown alongside to achieve a current
distribution as accurate as possible. Air
between cables is required for cooling.

Note: Current derating of the cables is required when installing the cables in a cable
tray. This derating factor must be taken into account as per the local electrical safety
codes.
