It is good to replace earth protective wire from MDP to ground rod with busbar ?
Example : replace 50mm2 copper wire with 5x50mm copper busbar, 19 meters long copper busbar

 

I don't see any problem using a busbar, but why the reason and not flexible copper conductor?

Thanks for answer

Because busbar is more cheap in my area
Example, 50mm2 is equivalent with 3x20mm busbar in price, but 3x20mm busbar have less resistance and bigger capacity
Also for prevent copper thief, I think to cut busbar is hard than cut wire

One more question, It is also good idea to put 3x20mm2 busbar inside 1" PVC pipe, inner diameter is 30mm with 1mm thickness, it is can decrease or increase capacity ?, especially short circuit (kA) capacity ?

 

And big coper wire is also not really flexible, is hard to bend wire larger than 95mm2

Short circuit capacity is expected more than 50kA for properly absorbs lightning

 

So this is also intended for lightning conductor or normal earth GND conductor.?

Normal earth GND and also lightning down conductor

 

It is good idea ?, 3x20mm busbar for protective earth conductor, 5x50mm busbar for lightning down conductor, main load is one phase 1x100a @220v 50hz

 

At least 5x50mm busbar have 650a capacity and expected to have 50kA in one second short circuit capacity, when lightning hit
