with dc solid copper or aluminum
with 60 Hz ac inductance will force current to the outer surface if the conductor
so the busses in substations are generally aluminum or copper tubing
power transmission lines are steel cable with 1/8" aluminum sheath
high frequency or rf busbars and wire is generally tubing that is silver plated
the inductance lets current flow only in the very thinnest skin of the conductor
The primary reason that high-voltage outdoor busbars in substations are tubular is to provide them with mechanical strength.
If they were solid, and of equivalent cross-sectional area, then they would not be self-supporting to the same extent as tubes, and would require supports that are much closer together.
The 'skin effect', however, iscertainly taken into account when determining optimum diameter/thickness of these busbar tubes because the skin effect becomes more important with large-diameter conductors.
Indoor busbars, such as those found in metal-clad switchgear are indeed solid and, usually, of rectangular section, with supports that are much closer together than for outdoor, tubular, busbars.
5-6x150 Cu. BUS BAR PER PHASE
...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.
The Bus Bar is (usually 3, or 4) solid copper bars that run through an MCC (Motor Control Center) and just supply power to the individual 'buckets' (compartments that contain the individual motor starters). The only protection for a bus bar would be from the 'Panelboard', or 'Switchboard' breaker that feeds the bus bar mounted in a separate MCC. Make Sense???, let me know if not...
To avoid accumulation of moisture.
In order to have your question answered, you would have to state which bar material. Young's Modulus is different and specific to the material to which it is applied. It will be different for steel than for iron or aluminum.
Normally they are made of brass. In some instances, plated steel.
mostly copper and aluminum

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.
It depends on the length of the bar and the material it is made from.
It depends on the density of the material of which the bar is made.
The material for most bus windows is toughened glassThe material for most bus windows is toughened glass
You need to be more specific. It depends on the material that the bar is made of as well as the volume of the bar.
A re-bar cutter is made of tool steel.
5-6x150 Cu. BUS BAR PER PHASE
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.
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.
