Bridged busbars step over other conductors or components within a panel. PRV forms flat and bridged busbars accurately from CAD data. PRV Engineering has been trading from Pontypool, South Wales since 1986 and now runs a well equipped 54,000 sq ft facility.
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.
Whether you need a single prototype or thousands of repeat parts, the work is planned to suit. Mild steel, stainless, aluminium, copper, Monel, Inconel, Hastelloy and titanium are all machined regularly, and a stocking service lets customers cut their own inventory and call off as needed.
Getting started is straightforward. Share your drawing or sample, tell the team your quantities and deadline, and PRV will come back with a quote and any suggestions to save cost. From there the work is managed in-house through to final inspection and delivery.
PRV calls its approach One Answer, Many Solutions. Machining, waterjet cutting, deep hole drilling, fabrication, painting, powder coating, plating, installation and maintenance all sit under one roof, so customers deal with one company and raise one purchase order. Quality is controlled to BS EN ISO 9001:2015, BS EN 1090 EXC3, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
