Thank you M. Brun! In this case we have an NS800 with Ir = 0.8 x 800= 640A connected to bus bars on the input side and 1.5m of copper bus bars on the output side connected to a single set of 400mm2 XLPE cables. There are 34 sets of these installed. The enclosure is from 4B, ventilated, and the entire pod is cooled by CRAC to 25-28C. I understand the 75C max rating but will run a full load test and carry out a thermographic analysis. Your response and the tables provided are much appreciated!

with pleasure @dhrobertson
take tyime to check this 2nd table
For 640A section of 400mm² looks a little low, please check internal temp inside your equipment.
When we check temp on breaker in accordance with IEC 60-947-2, we use 500mm² sections at 800A and 400mm² at 630A.
Best regards
