The term, 'bus', in 'busbar', comes from the word, 'omnibus', meaning 'to serve all'.

A busbar, then, is a copper bar that connects several independent circuits together. For example, a generator might be connected to a busbar, serving several circuits all connected to that same busbar.

There are separate busbars for line, neutral, and earthing (grounding) connections.

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.

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.

What is the difference between a 200 amp bus bar and a 150 amp bus bar?

The primary difference between a 200 amp bus bar and a 150 amp bus bar lies in their current-carrying capacity. A 200 amp bus bar can safely handle a maximum load of 200 amps, making it suitable for larger electrical systems, while a 150 amp bus bar is limited to 150 amps. This difference affects their applications; a 200 amp bus bar is typically used in larger service panels or commercial settings, whereas a 150 amp bus bar may be adequate for smaller residential systems. Additionally, the physical size and material specifications may vary to accommodate the different current ratings.
