For our latest post we thought it would be good for you to hear what customers think about the services we offer at PRV Engineering.

What better way to do this than to watch a short video where one of our own customers explains why they keep coming back to PRV Engineering time after time.  Visit our dedicated YouTube Channel to view more videos about us and what we do for our customers.

Next week we will be beginning a series of articles about the future of engineering and some of the new technologies we are investing in.

Whether someone is an independent engineering contractor or they are responsible for an entire fleet of military helicopters an effective and reliable means of working with low, high or even extremely high voltage is required. This requirement has resulted in the development of busbars.
What is a Busbar?

The versatile and flexible busbar is a thick strip of aluminum or copper that controls the flow of electricity between two points.  The very first busbar was created in the 1930’s by the British Grid System and of course, busbars have come a long way since then.

While not being the most glamorous piece of equipment, busbars work with precision to ensure that electricity is conducted safely, whether within a switchboard, distribution board or even between substations.

Busbars vary greatly and can be very complicated pieces of kit.  They can be made of aluminium or copper and are tubular, flat or solid in design.  There are different busbars to handle different levels of voltage, specifically extra high, high, medium and low voltage, plus there can be a multitude of other variations involved in their construction.

A great deal of busbars are manufactured to cover a multitude of disciplines and you’ll find quite a few engineering companies that are happy to create those.  Who isn’t interested in manufacturing a product with high volume demands?

But what if you need a custom one-off busbar for your electrical power distribution needs?  What then?
