Substation Outdoor Bus Conductor Max Allowable Temperature

Substation Outdoor Bus Conductor Max Allowable Temperature

(OP)
What's the maximum allowable conductor temperature your company uses for the outdoor substation copper bus bar?  90 degree C?  80 degree C? or 70 degree C?  If you use the conductor temperature lower than 90 degree, why? what're the main concerns?

THanks
