Aluminium busbars give a lighter, lower cost alternative to copper. PRV makes them in 6101 T6 electrical grade aluminium for distribution and switchgear. From its 54,000 sq ft site in Pontypool, South Wales, PRV Engineering has been machining, fabricating and finishing for UK industry since 1986.
PRV manufactures busbars, conductors, copper contacts and connections in C101 electrical grade copper and 6101 T6 electrical grade aluminium. Capability covers CAD file integration with CNC manufacture, complex manipulated copper shapes, multiple laminations with consolidated soldered ends, flat or bridged bars, forged and cast connections, punching, folding and pressing. Silver and tin plating are done in-house, along with specialist resistive and conductive coatings and heat shrink sleeving, all backed by quick response times.
Busbar quality comes down to material grade, accurate forming, clean joints and the right finish. Cheap bars with poor plating or loose tolerances cause hot spots, resistance losses and failures. Buying from a manufacturer that controls cutting, forming, plating, coating and sleeving under one roof gives you consistency, traceability and much better lead times.
Medium and high voltage switchgear manufacturers and electrical maintenance contractors need parts that conduct properly, fit first time and turn up when promised. PRV understands low, medium, high and extra high voltage plant, and can supply replacement parts to order at a cost the original manufacturers struggle to match.
PRV works from customer drawings, specifications or OEM samples. Mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper and exotic alloys are all handled, in quantities from one to full production, with call off stock available to keep your shelves lean.
The process is simple. Send a drawing, CAD model, specification or sample. PRV reviews it, flags any manufacturing concerns and quotes promptly. Once ordered, the job is planned through the relevant departments, inspected against your requirements and dispatched with the paperwork you need.
One supplier, one order, one point of contact. That is the PRV promise. Every major process from cutting to final finish is done in Pontypool under ISO 9001:2015, with BS EN 1090 EXC3, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 alongside. A continuous improvement and design for manufacture mindset means customers often end up with a better part at a lower cost.
