Bus Bars

The document discusses the concept of bus bars in electrical engineering, defining them as conductors used to collect and distribute electrical power. It outlines the reasons for using bus bars, the types based on arrangement (single, double, and ring bus bar systems), and their respective advantages and disadvantages. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of simplicity, maintenance, future expansion, and cost-effectiveness in selecting a bus bar arrangement.

➢INTRODUCTION
➢WHY BUS BAR?
➢TYPES OF “BUS-BAR”
• BASED ON ARRANGEMENT
➢CONCLUSION
INTRODUCTION

➢ An electrical bus bar is defined as a conductor or group of conductors


used for collecting electrical power from the incoming feeders and distribute
them to the outgoing feeders
➢ Remember KCL, which states that sum of currents entering a node is
equal to sum of currents leaving the node
➢Bus bar is basically the practical example of that node
Incoming currents

i1 i6
i2 i4 i6

WHY BUS BAR ?

➢Bus bar is required to connect multiple feeders together


➢ Feeders stands for both incomer feeders (source of power) and outgoing
feeders (consumers of power/load)
TYPES OF BUS BARS

Based on arrangement
➢Single bus bar system
➢Double bus bar system
➢Ring bus bar system
1. SINGLE BUS BAR
➢ As the name implies this configuration consists of all circuits connected to a
single bus bar
ADVANTAGES
➢This is very simple to design
➢This is very cost efficient scheme
➢This is very convenient to operate
➢Configuration requires less installation
➢It can be easily expanded
DISADVANTAGES
➢Bus or any circuit breaker result schedule of entire single busbar
➢Difficulty to do any maintenance
➢Maintenance of any circuit breaker requires shut down of corresponding circuit
2. DOUBLE BUS BAR

➢ In double bus bar system two


identical bus bars are used in such a
way that any outgoing or incoming
feeders can be taken from any of the bus
➢ Actually every feeder is connected to
both of the bases in parallel through
individual isolator
➢ There is one bus complex breaker
which should be kept close during bus
transfer operation
ADVANTAGES
➢Double bus bar arrangement increases the flexibility of system

➢ Double bus bar scheme with bypass isolator across circuit breakers is very
suitable for large generating stations as well as large grid substations

DISADVANTAGES
➢The arrangement doesn't permit breaker maintenance without interruption
➢High maintenance cost

➢ When a fault occurs on the system to breakersare to


be opened which leads to complication in relaying system
3. RING BUS BAR
In such type of arrangement, the end of the bus bar is connected back to the
starting point of the bus to form a ring.
ADVANTAGES
➢ Such type of arrangement will provide two paths for the supply. Thus the
fault will not affect their working.

➢ The fault is localized for the particular section. Hence the complete circuit is
not affected by the fault.
➢ In this arrangement, a circuit breaker can be maintained without interrupting the
supply

DISADVANTAGES
➢Difficulties occur in the addition of new circuit.
➢Overloading occurs on the system if any of the circuit breakers is opened.
CONCLUSION

After studied of the entire scheme, we conclude that the selections of busbar arrangement
for power system network is strongly depending on following primary consideration are

➤Bus bar arrangement should be simple

➤ The maintenance should be possible without interruption of supply.

➤ The layout should accommodate the future expansion with increase in load demand.

➤It should be economical one in view of reliability and continuity of supply.
