Material Width / thickness unit Busbar width Busbar thickness Length unit Length per bar Physical bar quantity Count every phase, neutral, earth or parallel bar explicitly.Material density (kg/m³) Copper preset 8,960; aluminium preset 2,700. Keep this aligned with the selected material.Procurement allowance (%) Material rate per kg (optional) 0 disables cost.Target mass unit Target mass (optional) Reverse-solves whole equal-length bars.Supplier kg/m (optional) Compare supplier/catalogue mass with ideal rectangular geometry.

1. Copper area = 100 × 10 = 1,000 mm².
2. Mass/m = 1,000 × 8,960 ÷ 1,000,000 = 8.96 kg/m.
3. One bar = 8.96 × 2 = 17.92 kg.
4. Total = 17.92 × 10 = 179.2 kg.
