I see this formula for ampacity of busbar for DC current
I_CCC = K*busbar width*bus bar thickness
Is it really this simple? Where K is a constant depending on if you are using copper or aluminum. This equation seems to simple to me. Additionally, I can't find anything with regards to the temperature rise of the copper bar using this formula for finding a current or what the ambient temperature is. Any ideas on the temperature rise using this formula?
