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.

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.
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)
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

The advantages of using aluminum bus bar in electrical applications include its lightweight nature, high conductivity, cost-effectiveness, and resistance to corrosion.
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.
A high-pressure test for bus bars involves subjecting the bus bar to increased pressure levels to check for leaks or weaknesses in the material. This test helps ensure that the bus bar can withstand the pressure it will face during normal operation without failing, which is crucial for safety and reliability in electrical systems.

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.
If a bus bar connection is loose, it can lead to increased electrical resistance, causing overheating and potential damage to the bus bar and connected components. This can also result in voltage drops, erratic power distribution, and intermittent electrical failures. In severe cases, it may create a fire hazard or lead to system outages, necessitating immediate inspection and repair. Regular maintenance is essential to prevent such issues.
The neutral bus bar in a Stab-Lok panel BE116-32 125 amp is typically located on the side or at the bottom of the panel box. It is a metal bar with multiple screw terminals for connecting the neutral wires from branch circuits. Refer to the panel's installation manual or contact a qualified electrician for specific guidance on locating and working with the neutral bus bar.
