Hi,
Currently I am working on a power distribution board that can handle 320A continuously and 400A peak I thought of using Copper to handle the current. But, the thing I am unable to decide is the cross sectional area of Copper that is required to handle this amount of current.
I did try different calculations but the area seems to be very small. So, if someone here could please tell me what are the factors that I need to consider while calculating the cross sectional area of Copper? Also, I used the equation to calculate the cross sectional area, is this the correct equation? I am completely new to this topic. Would appreciate any idea given!
Thanks
