Overview
Bus bars are an electrical system used to distribute electricity more flexibly and efficiently than other traditional methods. They are usually made of copper, brass, or aluminum strips. Bus bars are better at conducting electricity and grounding than cables. This means they can transmit electricity with less energy loss, making them more energy-efficient. They also have limited growth of reactive power compared to other systems, making them a great option for managing and distributing electricity.
The Lindgren Group has invested heavily in our ability to plate Bus Bars. New in 2024, Nico Products has installed a brand new Tin Plating line to support this industry.
Bus Bar Applications
Coated or plated metal bus bars are found in power base stations, power switch systems, networking equipment, cellular communication systems, telephone exchanges, power generation systems, military equipment, and more.
Some common metal coatings used on bus bars include:
- ElectrolessNickel
- Electrolytic Nickel
- Silver Plating
- Copper
- Tin Plating
- More…
Some of our clients include General Electric and Rockwell Automation.
The Lindgren Group: Avtec Finishing Systems and Nico Products work with bus bar manufacturers and electrical companies to provide superior-quality Tin, Silver, and Electroless Nickel Plating options, among others, for numerous applications. Work with our Business Development, Quality, and Estimating Teams to determine the best finish and specification you need for your project.
