What is difference between AC and DC resistance

Answer Posted / harikrushna adalja

DC

You can easily work with resistance in DC circuits
because DC is a steady, constant flow of current. The
relationships between resistance, voltage, current and power
come directly from Ohm's Law.

AC

In contrast to DC's constant flow, AC alternates between
negative and positive peak values 60 times a second. The 110
volt AC is 110 volts only at its momentary maximum. Though
Ohm's Law applies to AC at any given instant, you determine
power and heat by finding an average current value.

My question is whether bellow formula is correct to find bus size for 46kA for 0.5 second & what is RT in bellow formula. formula to calculate the size of busbar to withstand the thermal stresses due to currents with duration of 0.2 sec to 5 sec. Sp = RT( I x I x t) / K Where Sp – is the cross sectional area of bus bar in millimeters. I -    is the value of AC fault current. t -    is the operating time of disconnecting device in seconds. K –  is the factor depending on the material of the conductor, insulation and initial and final temperature. Value of ‘k’ for copper is 143.
