First Letter (the neutral point in relation to earth):T= directly earthed neutral (from the
French word Terre)I =unearthed or high impedance-earthed neutral (e.g. 2,000 )
Second letter (Exposed conductive parts of the electrical installation in relation to earth):T
=directly earthed exposed conductive partsN =exposed conductive parts directly connected
to the neutral conductor

Example: Calculate Size of Bus bar having Following Details
Enclosure Details:
Panel Length= 1200 mm ,Panel width= 600 mm, Panel Height= 2400 mm
Distance from the head of the insulator to the bus bar center of gravity (h)= 5 mm
Calculation:
(1) De rating Factors for Bus bar:
Bus bar Width(e) is 75mm and Bus bar Length per Phase(a) is 500mm so e/a is 75/500=0.15

Bus bar Area per Phase = Bus width X Bus Thickness X Length of Bus X No of Bus bar per Phase
Total Bus bar Area for Enclosure= No of Circuit X( No of Phase + Neutral )X Bus bar Area per Phase
Total Bus bar Area for Enclosure / Total Enclosure Area =9000000/1728000000
Bus bar Artificial Ventilation Scheme is without artificial ventilation so following Table

Bus bar Width (e) is 75mm and Space between each bus of Phase is 75mm so
Bus bar Phase Spacing (p) / Total Bus length of Phase with spacing (w) = 400 / 225 =2

Current Rating of Bus bar after De rating Factor (I1)= I2 X De rating Factor or I2 / De rating Factor
Bus bar Cross Section Area as per Current= Current Rating of Bus bar / Current Density of Material
Bus bar Cross Section Area as per Short Circuit= Isc X ((K/( tx100)x(1+ 20x) xt
Bus bar Cross Section Area as per Short Circuit= 50000X ((1.166/( 100100)x(1+ 0.0040385) x1
Select Higher Size for Bus bar Cross section area between 436 Sq.mm and 626 Sq.mm
Actual Bus bar cross section Area per Phase =7502= 1500 Sq.mm
Actual Bus bar Size is Less than calculated Bus bar size.
Actual Forces at the head of the Supports or Bus Bar (F)= 3 Kg /mm2
Actual Forces at the head of the Supports or Bus Bar is less than Permissible Strength
Mechanical strength of the bus bars=(F1X i /12)x(1/ Modulus of inertia of a bus bar )

Calculated Bus bar Temperature rise is less than Specified Max Temperature rise
Results:
Total Nos of Bus bar = 6 Nos 75x10mm for Phase and 1Nos 75x10mm for Neutral.
