Amp Capacity of Copper Bus

The document provides information on the current carrying capacity in amps of copper bus bars of various sizes at 35 degrees Celsius. Larger cross-sectional areas and more conductors per bus allow for higher current capacities. For example, a 40x5 copper bus can carry 520 amps for AC and 530 amps for DC, while a 40x10 bus can carry 760 amps AC and 770 amps DC due to its larger area.
