RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR DRILLING, PUNCHING AND CUTTING
DRILLING
Recommended drill characteristics:
Cutting speed: 50m/min.
Drill cutting angle:135º-140º.
Helix angle: 45º.
Lubricant and coolant white spirit.
CUTTING
Copper clad Aluminum busbar can be cut using methods that apply to
aluminium. Grinding of cut saw to a trapezoidal shape
gives good results and deburring is not necessary.
Cutting speed: 50-90 m/sec.
Lubricant and coolant white spirit.
PUNCHING
BENDING
N.B. Above factors are for bending normal to the plane.
For edge bending the forming tool radius should be
multiples of the width w.

The punching tool should be designed in the same way as
for use with flat copper bars.
It is important that the die should give adequate support as
near as possible to the shearing edge.

AC/DC CURRENT RATINGS
Check parameters to ensure compatability of these current ratings with design specification. Recalculation graphs should be used for design conditions different than those stated. For compatability , recalculation graphs
computed for the same base parameters must be used with these tabuled values. These parameters are clearly stated in the tables on this data sheet, and the recalculation grpah data sheet.

PARAMETERS
The calculated values on this data sheet are based on the following parameters.
Ambient temperature º C
Busbar temperature º C
Temperature rise º C
Supply Frequency Hz
Emissivity
35

30
60
0,4
n= number of bars in parallel.
Current ratings assume still but unconfinded air, with busbar mounted on edge.
Current ratings are based on “Temperature Rise of Busbar”, H.B.Dwight; Gen. Elec.
Rev., vol 43.
For multiple bar arrangements, the space between bars is equal to busbar
thickness.
AC ratings are based on spacings at which the proximity effect is negligible.
These approximate calculated values should not be regarded as a subsitute for experimental testing.
