Replacement busbars for switchgear can be hard to source once equipment ages. PRV manufactures replacements to order at a cost original manufacturers can't match. 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.
Materials range from everyday mild steels through to stainless, aluminium, copper and exotics such as Monel, Inconel, Hastelloy and titanium. PRV caters for one-offs, rapid prototypes and large batch production, and can hold stock for customers to call off in line with Kanban, VMI, consignment and JIT arrangements.
Every order follows a controlled route. Drawings are reviewed, materials are sourced with certification, work is planned across the shop floor and parts are inspected before dispatch. Customers get one contact who knows the job from quote to 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.
