Comparative Analysis of Electrical Parameters for Three Phase Busbar Trunking System

Authors(2) :-Shivraj P. Kalane, Prof. C. M. Bobade

Busbar Trunking system is one of the most widely used in electrical power distribution in place of cable. The major reasons behind the popularity of the BBT is flexibility in design, on-site installation times are reduced, most efficient, safe and ideal system for electricity supply to industrial installations and high rise structures. Busbar Trunking system is the need of electrical power distribution for low voltage and high current system. Due to all reasons, basic design of Busbar Trunking System and effect of electrical parameters on design and operation of Busbar Trunking System must be studied and analyse. Larsen & Toubro is currently in the process of designing and testing of BBT for low or medium voltage and higher current ratings. For the design of busbar trunking system used the standard IEC 61439 part 1 and part 6. As a consequence they are undertaking considerable research into the design and operation of busbar and the factors affecting the busbar. This project was undertaken in order to comprehensively understand the effect of various phenomena such as skin effect, proximity effect, inductance, magnetic fields, electrodynamics forces, contact resistance and permittivity of insulation material on the performance of busbar trunking system and its significance in design in real time scenario. Another study that was undertaken for examine the temperature rise and its effects on a busbar trunking system under normal operating conditions. The approach to these tasks involved considerable research, the use of mathematical tools for the implementation and verification of any developed mathematical models, and in some cases the use of software such as FEMM to understand certain phenomena affecting busbars. Additionally, certain physical testing was also undertaken on a model at the Switchgear Testing Laboratories.
