Manufacturing our own busbars

We manufacture our own hard-drawn high conductivity copper busbars using state-of-the art machinery.

Our busbar system uses specialised supports which are designed in-house and independently certified to BS EN IEC 61439-2:2011 standards.

Our busbars can be configured in a variety of ways to ensure space within the switchboard for ease of internal access.

  • ASTA-certified short circuit withstand ratings up to and including 100kA for 1 second and 50kA for 3 seconds RMS
  • Temperature rise certified up to 5,000A
  • Safe from accidental contact through internal non-metallic partitioning

In-house metalwork solution

Our in-house metal fabrication facility enables us to provide high quality enclosures for all of our bespoke assemblies.

We can maximise your room space by creating front or rear access designs, including L-shaped or U-shaped switchboards.

Our default finish is RAL7035 standard grey, but our in-house powder coating plant means that we can also offer a vast range of alternative colours.
