    1. The document provides input data for designing an electrical panel including current rating, voltage, frequency, ambient temperature, fault level, busbar material, size, spacing and other specifications. 2. Calculations are shown for minimum busbar size based on short circuit conditions, current carrying capacity accounting for derating factors, voltage drop, bending stress, electrodynamic forces and temperature rise during a fault. 3. The results of the calculations show the busbar design meets requirements for mechanical suitability, voltage drop and permissible temperature rise.
