    The document provides details for calculating the size of bus bars for a panel. It includes information on the rated voltage and current, fault current duration, operating temperatures, panel dimensions, bus bar material properties, and insulation details. Based on this information and factors like current density, temperature rise, mechanical strength, and forces generated, the final calculated bus bar size is 2 numbers of 75mm wide and 10mm thick copper bars per phase. The calculated mechanical strength, temperature rise, and forces are all within permissible limits.
