, Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to the field of electrical power distribution systems, and more particularly, to a thermally efficient busway system capable of distributing electrical power across multiple electrical equipments at desired voltage levels.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Busways, also commonly referred to as Busducts, are reliable links for transferring electrical power from an equipment to other at desired voltage levels. Busways are designed to conduct large currents at a relatively low voltage. Sandwich type busways are most compact amongst various busway designs. Busways conduct large amperage of current at full load and thus generates excess of heat which needs to be dissipated for proper functioning of the busways. Efforts have been made in the past to overcome problems related to heat dissipation in busways. For example, United States Patent Number 8711549 B2 discloses a busway section comprising a plurality of electrically conductive busbar conductors stacked on top of one another to form a stack, a housing having a top section over a topmost one of the busbar conductors and a bottom section under a bottommost one of the busbar conductors, a first set of thermally conductive, insulating material (TCIM) pads positioned at a first joint end portion of the stack of conductors such that respective ones of the first set of pads are sandwiched between each directly opposing pair of the busbar conductors. However, heat dissipated from the busbar section does not take place throughout an entire length of the busbar section. Thus, under heavy load conditions and excess current flowing through the busway section, overall temperature of busway is increased, thereby leading to reduction in thermal performance of the busway section.
[0004] Therefore there is need in the art for a thermally efficient busway system capable of effectively dissipating heat generated during its operation in order to improve thermal performance of the busway system and to prevent damage of one or more components of the busway system.

[00028] The present disclosure relates to a thermally efficient busway system capable of distributing electrical power across multiple electrical equipments at desired voltage levels.
[00029] Aspects of the present disclosure pertain to a busway system that includes a plurality of electrically conductive busbars arranged within an inner volume of the busway system, and a plurality of foils, each arranged at a lateral side of each of the plurality of busbars and sandwiched between two adjacent busbars of the plurality of busbars such that each of the plurality of foils extend over length of each of the plurality of busbars, wherein the plurality of foils transmit heat away from inner volume of the busway system to improve temperature gradient of the busway system.
[00030] In an embodiment, the plurality of foils are made of a non-magnetic and thermally conductive material. In an embodiment, the plurality of foils are made of a diamagnetic material having a low relative permeability.
[00031] In an embodiment, ends of the plurality of foils are in contact with a first housing member and a second housing member. In an embodiment, ends of at least two foils of the plurality of foils are in contact with each other. In an embodiment, the plurality of foils connect to the first housing member and the second housing member such that each of the plurality of foils covers at least three sides of each of the plurality of busbars.

[00034] In an embodiment, the arrangement of the plurality of foils with the plurality of busbars improves cooling of the busway system by allowing transfer of heat away from the inner volume of the busway system.
[00035] It would be appreciated that although embodiments the present disclosure are explained in terms of a busbar system, scope of the present disclosure is not limited to the same in any way whatsoever, and any kind of device incorporating the claimed features/elements of the present disclosure to improve heat dissipation of the device is well within the scope of the present disclosure.
[00036] FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary representation of the proposed busway system 100 in accordance with an embodiment of present disclosure. In an aspect, the busway system 100 can include a busway housing 102 to accommodate and/or enclosed various components of the busway system 100, a first housing member 104 and a second housing member 106 arranged externally with the busway housing 102. The busway system 100 can further include a plurality of electrically conductive busbars 108 tightly fitted within an inner volume of the busbar housing 102. In an instance, five busbars 108 can be stacked together within the busbar housing 102 such that each of the plurality of busbars 108 are spaced apart from each other by a pre-defined distance within the busbar housing 102.
[00037] In an embodiment, the plurality of busbars 108 can be insulated by a layer of insulation 110 arranged within the busway housing 102.
[00038] In an aspect, the proposed busway system 100 can include a plurality of foils 112, each foil arranged at a lateral side of each of the plurality of busbars 108 and sandwiched between two adjacent busbars 108 such that each foil 112 can extend over an entire length of each of the plurality of busbars 108. The foils 112 transmit heat away from inner volume of the busway housing 102 so as to improve temperature gradient of the busway system 100.
[00039] In an embodiment, each foil 112 can cover at least a length-wise side and two width-wise sides of a busbar 108 so that length of the foil 112 is larger than length-wise side of the busbar 108.
[00040] In an embodiment, ends of each foil 112 can be connected to the first housing member 104 and the second housing member 106 such that they remain in contact with the first housing member 104 and the second housing member 106 in order to transfer heat generated by the busbars 108 within the inner volume of the busway housing 102.

In an embodiment, the foils 112 can be made of non-magnetic material, preferably diamagnetic with very low permeability, such that it does not influence electromagnetic fields generated by plurality of busbars 108.
[00042] In an embodiment, inner foil 112-1 can be sandwiched between innermost pairs of adjacent busbars 108 and outer foils 112-2 can be sandwiched between outermost pairs of adjacent busbars 108. The arrangement of the busbars 108 and the foils 112-1/112-2 can be enclosed within the busway housing 102.

The foils 112 can transmit heat from within the inner volume of the busway housing 102 to the first housing member 104 and the second housing member 106 that are externally configured with the busway housing 102. The foils 112 can transfer heat generated by the busbars 108 away from the inner volume of the busway housing 102, thereby reducing temperature of the busbars 108, and any other component connected thereto, in order to increase temperature gradient of the busway system 100.
[00044] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow.
