The current of a power busbar is measured using a current transformer (CT) such as a busbar passing current transformer. The main role of the current transformer is to lower the value of the current to be measured to a value that is acceptable for metering devices (usually 1 to 5 A).Power is distributed in switchboards through the following means: 1. A main busbarthat distributes power horizontally between the various switchboard columns. It may be installed on the top, middle or bottom of the switchboard depending on the type of switchboard, customer specifications and/or local practices, 2. Distribution busbarsconnected to t. The following must be taken into account when choosing a power busbar: 1. Environmental characteristics of the switchboard(ambient temperature, IP degree of protection, pollution), 2. Type of switchboard installed regarding to validation test, 3. Characteristics of the client's power supply: on the top, middle or bottom, 4. The rated current of the. The installation must ensure the protection of persons: 1. Against direct contactby installing the appropriate internal partitions (forms) or by installing live parts out of reach. 2. Against indirect contactby creating an equipotential bonding inside the switchboard (PE/PEN protective conductor and earthing of the grounding electrode conductors).
