I did see these AC 60Hz tables like your link. Is it the same for DC
current? Seems like I read that there was a difference.
Thank you,

Larry,
There are many resources for this online. A quick search for "copper bar
current rating chart" yields results like this:

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Copper bar current capacity?
Hi Wrenches,
In building lithium battery systems, I have many components that need to
be connected in series from the battery. Sometimes the space is very
limited making it difficult to bend 2/0 cables. I would like to use copper
flat bar and make parts to replace the cables. Does anyone know how much
current I can run through copper bar based on its size? For example, 1" or
3/4" wide by .0625" up to .125" thick. The pieces will only be a few
inches long and bolted to solenoids, shunt and terminal posts.
