Hi!
I've found various info on Google searches but wondering what would be the right way to size my busbar.
For wires, I can look in the table of the providers for the wires I buy. They have an amp specification in accordance to their size.
But with a bare copper tape / bar this information is not easily found and often contradictory numbers are found on different websites.
Should I simply do width X thickness and then look at the ampacity of same sized wires?
Cheers,
Tony
