[0019] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] In this embodiment of the invention, directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-2 The low-voltage switchgear of this embodiment includes a cabinet. The low-voltage switchgear of this embodiment is a low-voltage incoming line switchgear or a busbar switchgear.

[0023] The cabinet features a front bottom door and a rear bottom door, with ventilation holes at the bottom and on the front bottom door.

[0025] As one implementation method, a copper busbar is provided inside the cabinet, and the copper busbar satisfies the following formula:

[0026] I 载 = K * S 0.5 *Δ θ 0.39 ;

[0027] in, I 载 This represents the current carrying capacity of the copper busbar, expressed in amperes (A). K The material coefficient for the copper busbar is 0.018~0.022 for bare copper and 0.016~0.020 for tin-plated copper. S The cross-sectional area of ​​the copper busbar is in mm². Δθ is the allowable temperature rise (K), Δθ≤70K.

[0028] According to this formula, the copper busbar specifications should be selected as shown in Table 1 for specific applications:

[0029]

[0030] This utility model calculates the current based on the transformer capacity of the user's project, and combines the current on the load side and the current carrying capacity of the copper busbar. Under the condition of temperature rise ≤70K, it reduces the specifications of the copper busbar in the cabinet, thereby achieving the goal of cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

[0031] As one implementation method, the power of the fan P fan With the rated current of the low-voltage switchgear I 额 (e.g., 1000A, 2000A) satisfy the following formula:

[0032] ;

[0033] in, R Q is the total resistance (Ω) of the copper busbar and its connection points. natural Natural heat dissipation (W). η Δθ represents the fan's heat dissipation efficiency (typically 30%~50%), Δθ represents the allowable temperature rise (e.g., 30K~70K), and Δθ≤70K.

[0034] Example: A 2000A incoming line cabinet (copper busbars 2×100×10, heat output 4500W), of which natural heat dissipation capacity is approximately 800W (cabinet ventilation holes + exhaust vents); therefore, the required forced heat dissipation is: 4500−800=3700W. W The required air volume is calculated (ΔT=15K): That is, 720m 3 If the output is / h, then you can choose two 50W units.
