Typical Busbar Sizes
Below is a list of busbar sizes commonly available in the USA.
If this program recommends sizes that do not fit into the ranges below, change either the number of conductors or the section thickness of the busbar and recalculate the minimum cost solution.
| Thickness | Range of Widths |
|---|---|
| 1/16" | 1/2 - 2" |
| 1/8" | 1/2 - 4" |
| 3/16" | 1/2 - 4" |
| 1/4" | 1/2 - 12" |
| 3/8" | 3/4 - 12" |
| 1/2" | 1 - 12" |
| 3/4" | 4 - 12" |
