Busbar sizing

A bus is a common point of connection where feeder and distribution cables met. Appropriate
sizing of such conductor is important as this conduction will be dealing with a larger amount of
current [ CITATION kCA01 \l 1033 ]. A bus system is assigned the following rating:
 Rated voltage
 Rated frequency
 Rated short circuit
