SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the calculation of magnetic flux density near a rectangular bus bar using the formula H = I/2πd, which yields a value of 2.3873T at a distance of 0.2mm. Participants emphasize the necessity of including the permeability constant (μ₀) in the calculations, as magnetic flux density is measured in Tesla. Additionally, they advise maintaining a safe distance from high current areas, suggesting at least a few centimeters for safety. The Hyperphysics calculator is recommended for further analysis, although adjustments for the specific geometry of the setup are necessary.
