Question: Two rectangular copper bus bars, each 8 mm thick 100 mm wide with facing flats, are separated by 10-mm space between the flats. Determine

Two rectangular copper bus bars, each 8 mm thick × 100 mm wide with facing flats, are separated by 10-mm space between the flats. Determine per meter run of the bus bars: 

(1) The resistance and leakage inductance at 75°C and 

(2) The mechanical force under a fault current of 35 kA peak, assuming a bar shape factor of 0.75.
