bus bar

                                          BUS BAR

            Bus bar is a group of conductor, which is used to carry the current from one place to another place. in bus bar, material like bronze, aluminium, copper are used as a bus bar. aluminium is good to use, because it is cheap, less in weight. The bus bar's are manufacture in the shape of rectangle, square, and round tubes. The most common of the bus-bars are 40x4mm (160 mm); 40x5 mm (200 mm2); 50x6 mm (300mm2); 60x8 mm (480 mm2) ; 80x8 (640 mm2) and 100x10 mm (1000 mm).


WHY BUS BAR'S ARE USED IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:

             In some case using of bus bar's are most useful then the using of cables

EXAMPLE:  in a power plant or power distribution center, sometimes they handles high amount of power, for that cables aren't convenient. they might need a cable as thick as a firehose and six times as heavy to carry the current. If not cable can melt, In those cases, instead of using cable, we can just use slabs of metal instead.

ADVANTAGES OF BUS BAR :

       *  Bus bars reduce system cost 
       *  Improve reliability
       *  Increase capacitance
       *  Eliminate wiring errors
       *  They also lower inductance and increase                                   capacitance.  
       *  The physical structure of bus bar offers unique                       features in mechanical design.

DISADVANTAGES OF BUS BAR :

  • Commercially not viable if the number of switch gears is low
  • Specialists needed for construction of the busbar system from a wiring diagram
  • Lack of adapters for mounting different electrical devices on the busbar
  • Special type of busbars needed to construct busbar system which can carry current more than 800 Ampear

SELECTION OF MOTORS FOR DIFFERENT DUTY CYCLES

   SELECTION OF MOTORS FOR DIFFERENT DUTY CYCLES : 1. Continuous duty cycle :                          It denotes the motor operation at a constant load torque to reach steady state temperature. The load time and. temperature time graph are shown in fig 1.1 EXAMPLES :               Paper mill drives compressors, conveyers, centrifugal pumps and fans                                              fig. 1.1 2. Short time duty :                   It denotes the operation of motor at constant load for short period followed by rest to cool down to the original starting temperature. Short time duty timings are generally 10, 30, 60 and 90 minutes. The load time and the temperature time graph are shown in fig 1.2  EXAMPLES :               Crane drivers, drives for household appliances, sluice gate drives, valve drives and machine tool drives                                              fig 1.2 4. Intermittent period duty with starting :

single bus bar and single busbar with sectionalisation

                                            BUS BAR 1.                               SINGLE BUS BAR                 In this way, only one set bus - bar is attached to the entire generating station.  All transformers, generators and feeders are connected to this single bus - bar.  Generators are connected to the bus - bar via isolator and circuit breakers.  Similarly to incoming and outgoing feeders via isolator and circuit breakers are attached with bus bar. This system will suitable for both A.C and D.C ADVANTAGES:                         1.  Only one circuit breaker is required for each                              outgoing circuit.  So it's simple and cost effective.              2.  Since there are no transfer circuit breakers and                        disconnectors, the operation is simple              3.  The number of circuit breakers required is low.                        So the cost of maintenance is low.              4.  The potentia

ELECTRICAL TRACTION

                              ELECTRICAL TRACTION : ELECTRIC TRACTION :            Electric traction means a locomotion in which the driving force is derived from electric motors.  There are many advantages of electric traction over other forms of jocomotion in the current days of traction in any country of development.  In fact, it is a fast-paced, safest and economical way of transporting and transporting goods to the modern day. In this type of drive the locomotive is equiped with a d.c series motor or ac series motor or three phase induction motor. The electric energy is directly fed into the motor and torque developed by the propelling the train.                             TRACTION SYSTEMS : The most commonly used traction methods are as follows. 1.  Steam engine drive  2. Internal combustion engine drive  3. Battery electric drive  4. Internal combustion engine electric drive  5. Electric drive               IDEAL TRACTION SYSTEM OF REQUIREMENTS : 1.The u
