Introduction

For the accurate modeling of a busbar, it is needed to solve thefull-wave Maxwell′s equations, to include inductive and capacitiveeffects, in the calculation of the input impedance. Their opera-tion at higher frequencies is costly as the skin depth becomessmaller than the thickness of the conducting domain. The chal-lenge therein lies in finding a trade-off between computationalcost and the accuracy of the solution.

THIN SHELL MODEL

Let us consider a wide structure with infinitesimal thicknes d. Un-der these conditions we may assume that the current distributionacross the thin structure will occur tangentially to the larger sur-face, and negligible across the thickness.

BUSBAR MODEL AND INPUT IMPEDANCE

Busbars are commonly used for power distribution in a variety ofapplications including circuit coupling and load control. Due tothe diversity in functionality, their size and shape vary substan-tially from design to design, although their main concept resem-bles that of a parallel-plate transmission line, consisting of parallelconducting plates separated by a dielectric slab.

This model aims to replicate the behavior of a no-load three-phase inverter, where we have an input terminal and three viasrepresenting the IGBTs of the inverter.

The results below show the behavior of the impedance at a widerange of frequencies. Although the phase shows that the busbaris mainly inductive, it is possible to see the effect of the skin effecton the real part of the impedance
