Busbar Forces

Calculates the electromagnetic force per unit length on the centre phase of a three-phase flat busbar arrangement during a symmetrical short circuit using Fm = (mu_0 / 2pi) * (sqrt(3)/2) * ip^2 / a, then derives peak span force and bending stress. Used to verify busbar mechanical adequacy in switchgear and substation design per IEEE 605 and IEC 60865-1.
