Busbar Suggestion

08/30/2011 12:33 AM

Dear All,

Iam designing a 200 TPA electrolytic cell with Nickel electrodes and process requires continues passage of current of 6000 A into cell for 24*7 in a year....required cell voltage is 5.2 V. As am having a confusion in connecting my Nickel plates to external circuits can any of you suggest me about busbar connections and requirements.....

Regards,

Vinith Gandhi R

1.What kind of busbars can be used for this application ?

2.What are the calculation for busbar size for this current ?

3.How to connect busbars to nickel plates ?

4.What are safety measures to be taken care for busbars carrying this huge current ?

1. Big ones. The bigger they are, the lower the voltage drop.

3. Bolts, clips, clamps, weld....

4. Don't short the buggers out and make sure they don't melt anything.
