The temperature rise at any point in the busway shall not exceed a 63°F (55°C) rise above ambient temperature when operating at rated load current.
The voltage drop (input voltage minus output voltage) specified shall be based on the busway operating at full rated current and at stabilized operating temperature in 95°F (35°C) ambient temperature. The three-phase, line-to-line voltage drop shall not exceed 5.0 volts per 100 ft. (30.5m). The minimum short-circuit rating of the busway shall be:
10,000 RMS symmetrical amperes for 100 ampere busway

The short circuit rating of the busway shall be determined according to UL Standard No. 857.
Bus Joints
The busbars shall be connected by means of a spring clip pressure joint. Joint connections shall be made without special tools, housing couplers or bus connectors. An inspection cover shall be provided at the joint of each section suitable both for visual inspection and to allow thermal scans of busway joints.

A 5 ft. (1.5m) section has three (3) bus ports per side and a 2 ft. (0.6m) section has one (1) bus port per side. All openings shall be usable simultaneously.
Bus Mounting
The manufacturer’s standard clamp hanger shall support busway sections and fittings. Hangers are adaptable for wall mounting or ceiling suspension arrangements, either edge or flat. Hangers shall be spaced not more than 5 ft. (1.5m) apart along the busway. Each end tap box requires a threaded rod for support.
