There are two temperature categories for copper buss bar. For a 30 degree C rise the sizes are 1/4" X 1" or 3/8" X 3/4". For a 50 degree C rise the size is 1/4" X 3/4". Both of these temperature categories will handle 400 amps.

What is the difference between a 200 amp bus bar and a 150 amp bus bar?

The primary difference between a 200 amp bus bar and a 150 amp bus bar lies in their current-carrying capacity. A 200 amp bus bar can safely handle a maximum load of 200 amps, making it suitable for larger electrical systems, while a 150 amp bus bar is limited to 150 amps. This difference affects their applications; a 200 amp bus bar is typically used in larger service panels or commercial settings, whereas a 150 amp bus bar may be adequate for smaller residential systems. Additionally, the physical size and material specifications may vary to accommodate the different current ratings.
