This software enables users to specify current ratings and power dissipation for both copper and aluminum busbars commonly utilized in electrical distribution systems and switchboards.
BusBar Calculations is a valuable software tool for engineers and electricians in need of calculating current ratings and power dissipated for aluminium and copper busbars. This software is perfectly suited for those working with switchboards and electrical distribution systems, as it allows users to perform a variety of calculations with ease.
With BusBar Calculations, you can calculate the rating, dissipation, and voltage drop for any rectangular cross section of aluminium and copper busbars. Furthermore, the rating and voltage drop of PVC cables are given for both metric and imperial cable sizes.
One of the key features of BusBar Calculations is its ability to calculate powerfactor correction capacitor sizing. The software provides the maximum correction that can be statically applied to an induction motor, which can be twice the magnitude shown in tables. This is especially useful due to the variations in motor characteristics.
Additionally, BusBar Calculations offers motor starting calculations that display the correct selection of motor starters for induction motors and loads. This feature allows users to easily match the starter to the motor and load combination, as well as see the effects of changing motor designs on starting characteristics. The starting characteristics can also be viewed as a graph of start current and start torque.
Finally, BusBar Calculations includes a conversion function between metric and imperial units for area, length, volume, mass, torque, and pressure. This feature makes it easy for users to switch between the two measurement systems seamlessly.
Overall, BusBar Calculations is a useful software tool for engineers and electricians working with switchboards and electrical distribution systems. It offers a wide range of calculations, including busbar, cable rating, powerfactor correction, ventilation, and motor starting. The software is user-friendly and provides precise results, making it a great investment for any professional in the industry.
