Note: Ratings depend upon configuration, air flow, ambient temp, etc. The values depicted are an approximation. Controlled testing is always required to validate.
Other considerations:
Forming the busbar (aluminum has a tendency to crack with very tight radius)
Electroplating the busbar (white rust on aluminum, oxidation is an issue with aluminum)
Configuration of the busbar (vertical or horizontal configuration)
