Abstract

In electrolysis smelting plants that using high DC current, the bus bar is most important facility for delivering the high current. The copper made bus bar is widely used for various advantages as good electrical and thermal conductivity, resonable malleability, ductility, and not rust easily. However, when high current in copper bus bar, temperature rises and maximum allowable current capacity is restricted by temperature of bus bar. In this paper, we investigated temperature variation of copper bus bar by putting cooling water channel imposed to bus bar construction. For the validity, various simulations were carried out.
