    Aluminum rectangular bus deflection and fiber stress

    Hello, everyone, I am looking at how aluminum bus bar behave during short circuit situation, there will be 40ksi tension stress on the bus at the point of support if supports spaced at 5ft. By checking the Aluminum hadbook, I got Aluminum 1350-Hiii minimum yield stress is only 3.5ksi, minimum...

    Short circuits elctromenchanical force on paralle busbars,

    Thanks, Desertfox. I have read througn the articles per above links, and also checked IEEE 608-1998 before posting this. They all talked about two buses.

    Short circuits elctromenchanical force on paralle busbars,

    Hello, everyone I am trying to calculate the fiber stress on the paralle busbars,can anyone tell me if I need to calculate the force caused by each individual bus, or I can treat either positive bus or negative bus as one whole thing, thanks indeed.
