Why we go for bus bar riser system instead of cables?
It is done to carry more current at rated power & to reduce the power loss as compared to cable since a bus-bar has more area compared to cable so resistance is less & hence losses are reduced.

Is there a minimum value of contact resistance of bus bar or value per joints?
You want that as low as possible. Make sure all contacts are clean and if there is high current involved I would suggest a transfer paste. Whatever you decide is the resistance is can help you calculate the voltage drop across the connection and therefore the heat that will be created. You want as little loss there as possible. The resistance will change under load. (increase)
Why do they use copper as bus bars?
Because copper is a very good conductor of electricity. Most other metals aren't as good, and would cause more resistance, resulting in the bus bar heating up.
To measure DC of big bus bar?
A: TO measure the current on any path you will need a very small known resistance in sires and measure the voltage drop across it. If the resistance i not small then inaccuracy of reading will be evident
What is the bus bar size for 6000A?
5-6x150 Cu. BUS BAR PER PHASE
How can you calculate the copper bus bar according to the amp?
To obtain the amp of the copper bus bar, multiply the width of the bus bar by the thickness of the bus bar to obtain the current carrying capacity of the bus bar.

What are the types of bus bar arrangements?
Single bus is used in smaller, less important substations. A fault on the bus requires tripping of all lines into the bus. When higher redundancy is necessary, ring and breaker and 1/2 schemes are used. These are the three most common.
What does the term 'bus bar' refer to?
The term "bus bar" refers to a strip of bar of brass, aluminum, or copper. This strip of bar conducts electricity with a distribution and switch board.
How do you calculate bus bar size?
You just Calculate Size of Bus bar which has been mentioned below:Example: Calculate Size of Bus bar having Following DetailsBus bar Current Details:Rated Voltage = 415V,50Hz ,Desire Maximum Current Rating of Bus bar =630Amp.Fault Current (Isc)= 50KA ,Fault Duration (t) =1sec.Bus bar Temperature details:Operating Temperature of Bus bar (θ)=85°C.Final Temperature of Bus bar during Fault(θ1)=185°C.Temperature rise of Bus Bar Bar during Fault (θt=θ1-θ)=100°C.Ambient Temperature (θn) =50°C.Maximum Bus Bar Temperature Rise=55°C.Enclosure Details:Installation of Panel= Indoors (well Ventilated)Altitude of Panel Installation on Site= 2000 MeterPanel Length= 1200 mm ,Panel width= 600 mm, Panel Height= 2400 mmBus bar Details:Bus bar Material= CopperBus bar Strip Arrangements= VerticalCurrent Density of Bus Bar Material=1.6Temperature Co efficient of Material Resistance at 20°c(α20)= 0.00403Material Constant(K)= 1.166Bus bar Material Permissible Strength=1200 kg/cm2Bus bar Insulating Material= BareBus bar Position= Edge-mounted barsBus bar Installation Media= Non-ventilated ductingBus bar Artificial Ventilation Scheme= without artificial ventilationBus bar Size Details:Bus bar Width(e)= 75 mmBus bar Thickness(s)= 10 mmNumber of Bus Bar per Phase(n)= 2 NoBus bar Length per Phase(a)= 500 mmDistance between Two Bus Strip per Phase(e)= 75 mmBus bar Phase Spacing (p)= 400 mmTotal No of Circuit= 3 No.Bus bar Support Insulator Detail:Distance between insulators on Same Phase(l)= 500 mmInsulator Height (H)= 100 mmDistance from the head of the insulator to the bus bar center of gravity (h)= 5 mmPermissible Strength of Insulator (F')=1000 Kg/cm2
How do you convert bus bar to amp?
Bus bar is a physical component that carries the current. AMP is unit of current. They can not be converted
Why the impedance of infinite bus bar is zero?
...because it is an infinite bus bar, meaning it can supply infinite current. By Ohm's law, since the voltage at the bus bar is fixed, to have infinite current, you must have a zero impedance.
Difference between bus bar and bus duct?
Bus bars are actually simple conductor strips of copper using for connection between one system to another.for example transformer to panel. bus ducts are enclouser of that bus bar
