Because aluminium busbars are larger in cross-section than copper for the same rating, these effects are more pronounced. The handbook provides complex formulae and correction factors ($K$ factors) that allow engineers to calculate the effective resistance and reactance of busbar configurations, ensuring that thermal limits are not exceeded in AC systems. : Methods to prevent overheating by accounting for
