Home / Thermal expansion and contraction of tubular busbars
When busbars heat up due to electrical current, they expand - a process called thermal expansion. Thermal stresses are generated between two bodies submitted to differential thermal expansion, such as a pair of busbars at different tem eratures that are mechanically connected at multiple locations. The manuscript presents advanced coupled analysis: Maxwell 3D, Transient Thermal and Fluent CFD, at the time of a rated current occurring on the main busbars in the low-voltage switchgear. The environment where a vehicle is used can be harsh and varying in temperatures a lot.
