How do I calculate voltage drop across a busbar? Busbar voltage drop is calculated using Vd = I x Z x L, where I is the current, Z is the impedance per unit length (R + jX), and L is the busbar length. Accurate busbar losses calculation helps engineers estimate heat generation, determine efficiency, and select the correct busbar size for safe operation. When looking at the source of the HEAT from electrical perspective, we can list its causes: Short circuit. For a rectangular copper busbar, DC resistance per metre is R = rho / (width x thickness) in.
