Three-phase busbar resistance
Three-phase busbar losses
Problem type:
Plane-parallel problem of AC Magnetics.
Geometry:
All dimensions are in millimeters.
Given:
Material of busbar - aluminum;
AC current I = 1000 A (R.M.S. value);
Frequency f: 50 Hz, 400 Hz, 1 kHz, 3 kHz.
Problem:
Calculate the dependence of the busbar losses to the alternating current frequency.
Results:
Current density distribution of a three-phase busbar (f = 50 Hz):
