Aluminium Busbars

[Neetan]

Hi;
I am looking for authentic source, preferably on Net; that gives ampacities (current carrying capacities) of rectangular shaped Aluminum busbars, in inch sizes. Any reference to Standard will also help. Any help shall be greatly appreciated.

This is a very goog reference.

http://www.hubbellpowersystems.com/...brary/pdfs4lib/Chance-Construction/AEC-41.pdf

It's published by Anderson Electric ( now owned by Hubble) and is titled "Technical Data, A Reference for the Electrical Industry" About 90 pages of useful information including what you're seeking.

Are you wanting ratings for use in metal enclosed switchgear or outdoor substations? This link covers both.
