Medium Voltage Bus Bar Manufacturing, Plating, and Coating
S+S Industries’ BlitzCoat process adds industry-leading DK19 powder coating insulation to medium voltage bus bars for long-lasting dependability.
S+S Industries is proud to offer bus bars for medium-range applications (up to 36kV). Thanks to our cutting-edge BlitzCoat coating system, these insulated bars are ideal for data centers, utility substations, and large industrial plants where consistency and precision are paramount.
As the home of the industry-leading plating processes Power Plate and Hyper Plate, S+S has a proven track record of producing large-format, heavy-gauge bus bars at medium-voltage scale. We are the partner to trust for sourcing dependable bus bars in whatever quantity you need.
Expanding Power to the Medium Voltage Range
S+S medium voltage bus bars are critical for distributing power in utility applications, from substation switchgear to transformer assemblies. Facilities with busway systems like commercial buildings and data centers can also utilize them to distribute power with plug-and-play access.
Medium voltage bus bars require thicker builds for better heat, current, and environmental stress tolerance.
BlitzCoat -
The Standard for Medium Voltage Insulation
BlitzCoat uses DK19 epoxy powder coating, the industry benchmark coating widely recognized within the electrical insulation and switchgear manufacturing industries for its premium performance protecting medium voltage bus bars.
Bus bars insulated with DK19 boast high dielectric strength, excellent arc resistance, and strong mechanical durability with a smooth finish. DK19 adheres better to copper than silicone coatings and offers more uniform thickness and better edge coverage than liquid epoxy can manage.
These advantages make DK19-insulated bus bars the preferred choice for substation and transformer environments, where they must stand up to heat cycling, mechanical stress, and environmental exposure such as dust and humidity.
Heavy-Gauge Plating and Finishing Capabilities
For the ultimate in surface protection, use medium voltage bus bars from S+S that are both plated and coated. We are deeply experienced in plating both thick copper and aluminum bus bars on our Hyper Plate and Power Plate lines. Our equipment includes large-format tanks and ovens with automated handling for heavy components.
We give bus bar customers the option of plating with either tin or silver to prioritize corrosion protection or conductivity. Both Hyper Plate and Power Plate deliver a consistent surface without rack marks or voids.
End-to-End Process Control
From custom projects to scaled runs, our medium voltage bus bar production process is full-scope and entirely in-house:
Prep

Verification
It includes plating, fabrication and then precision masking for complex geometries, which are common for environments with high component density or custom routing. And we coat to tight tolerances, testing for coating thickness afterward to ensure adhesion soundness and dielectric strength.
