Title: Bolted busbar connections with slotted bolt holes
Keywords: Bolted busbar connections, Hole shape, Contact resistance

Abstract: The paper discusses how introducing a slotted hole shape for the bolts in bolted busbar connections increases significantly the true contact area and reduces contact resistance. This profile case is compared with the classical one of bolted busbar connections by the help of several computer models. It has been estimated that the new case leads to a considerable raise in contact pressure and contact penetration in the contact area between the busbars.
