Calculation of electrodynamic efforts on busbar technology: comparison between partial equivalent element circuit method (PEEC) and finite element method (FEM)

Busbar technology is more and more used to realize connections in answer to the need of compactness. But, high current levels can damage the sheets of conductors, which compose the busbar, because of too high an electrodynamic effort. This paper presents the computation of electrodynamic efforts bet...

Summary:Busbar technology is more and more used to realize connections in answer to the need of compactness. But, high current levels can damage the sheets of conductors, which compose the busbar, because of too high an electrodynamic effort. This paper presents the computation of electrodynamic efforts between two bars using two methods: an analytical one based on PEEC method and a numerical one based on FE method. The two methods have been compared with success on an example.
