Abstract

The paper deals with the experimental validation of a numerical model for the steady-state analysis of multiconductor busbar systems. The computational approach employs the finite element technique to solve the two-dimensional electromagnetic field problem and deduce a complex impedance matrix. Such a matrix, inserted in the circuit equations, enables prediction of the system behaviour. The analysis has been developed on an industrial three-phase busbar system having three conductors per phase, considering different supply conditions. The experiments have confirmed the validity of the proposed model
