Services
Copper Busbars
We manufacture solid and flexible copper busbars to BS EN 13600 standards, offering tin, silver, or nickel plating options. Our engineers optimise designs for temperature rise calculations and dimensional constraints, serving applications in switchgear, transformers, and UPS systems. With capabilities for bending, twisting, and insulation, we deliver custom solutions for 800A+ neutral links and complex power distribution networks.
Cable Assemblies
Specialising in high-vibration environments, we produce cable assemblies from 10mm to 400mm with heat-shrink insulation and identification sleeving. Our rail industry expertise covers BR cable types 9022236 and 889-4002, including bogie earthing cables and traction motor harnesses. All terminations undergo 100% inspection using GO gauges for aerospace and automotive compliance.
Earthing Products
Our earthing range includes custom earth straps, bonds, and mats designed for critical safety applications. Using 3D CAD modelling, we create solutions for switchgear panels and transport systems, ensuring compliance with international rail and industrial standards. Products feature vibration-resistant designs for oil & gas, standby power, and science & space projects.
Design Support
Our Chartered Engineers provide CAD-based design optimisation for electrical connections, including temperature rise analysis and dimensional validation. We assist with prototyping, material selection, and integration into existing systems, supporting clients from concept through to production with ISO-certified quality assurance.
Reverse Engineering
We recreate obsolete or damaged components using sample products or technical specifications. This service ensures continuity for legacy systems in rail and industrial sectors, maintaining original performance standards while offering modern material or design improvements where applicable.
