Solved with COMSOL Multiphysics 4.2 Electrical Heating in a Busbar Introduction The model that you create analyzes a busbar designed to conduct a direct current from a transformer to an electrical device; see Figure 1. The current conducted in the busbar produces heat due to the resistive losses, a phenomenon referred to as Joule heating. The Joule heating effect is described by conservation laws for electric current and energy. Once solved for, the two conservation laws give the temperature and electric field, respectively. Figure 1: Photo of a busbar installation, and the geometry of the busbar used in this model. The goal of your simulation is to precisely calculate how much the busbar heats up and to study the influence of a design parameter, the width of the device, on the phenomenon. Model Definition The busbar is made of copper while the bolts are made of titanium. This choice of materials is important since titanium has a lower electrical conductivity than copper and is subjected to a higher current density. All surfaces, except the bolt contact surfaces, are cooled by natural convection in the air surrounding the busbar. You can assume that the bolt cross-section boundaries do not contribute to cooling or heating of the device.
