I am hoping someone can help me determine the maximum allowable current carrying capacity for Aluminum Busbar. I need to install some busbar.
I have 1/4" X 4" and 3/8" X 4" to choose from.
What is the ampacity of each? Would you please tell me how to figure this out and cite reference, if possible?
Thank you all so much!
I really like this board!
