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.
