AC withstand voltage standard for tubular busbars

Home / AC withstand voltage standard for tubular busbars

The IEC 61439 standard applies to busbar assemblies that will be installed in electrical applications with a voltage rating up to 1000 V (for AC) and 1500 V (for DC). This standard defines the design verification, test requirements, and thermal performance of the assemblies. In this new edition the calculation of current-carrying capacity has been greatly simplified by the provision of exact formulae for some common busbar configurations and graphical methods for others. Thermal withstand ensures the busbar temperature does not exceed the short-time limit (250 degrees C for copper per IEC 61439-1) during a fault: A >= I x sqrt (t) / k, where k = 143 for copper (or use 13 for Aluminium per IEC 60865-1).
