Tuling Nickel-plated Copper Bus Bar
The typical solid copper bus bars have a shorter lifespan due to constant wear and corrosion. Hence, Tuling introduces nickel plating to the copper bus bars to enhance their performance and durability.
We use C110 pure copper for the nickel-plated bus bars. Moreover, we maintain the ASTM B733 standard for the nickel coating for absolute quality. The Tabular Wear Index of our plated bus bars is 16 – 20, indicating a reliable long-term connection.
Tuling Nickel-plated Bus Bar Features
Our nickel-plated copper bars can be installed even in high-humid areas.
Tuling’s nickel-coated busbars have low resistance and high electric conductivity.
Nickel plating keeps our copper bus bars protected from wear and friction.
Tuling’s nickel-coated busbars have a smooth and bright finish.
Tuling Nickel Plating Specifics
We can deposit a nickel layer of 0.1 to 30 microns. We utilize electro- and electroless plating to coat the copper bus bar surface. Our upgraded surface treatment technology allows us to achieve a uniform plating tolerance of ± 0.00005 inch.
The plating hardness of our electroless coating is 45 – 51 HRC. After the heat treatment, it increases to 64 – 71 HRC.
Tuling Electroless Nickel Plating on Copper Bus Bars
Electroless nickel plating ensures a uniform and hard coating on the copper bar. Here’s how we perform electroless nickel plating surface treatment,
- We remove any contamination from the copper bar surface by thoroughly cleaning it.
- Next, we dip the bus bar in a controlled bath of nickel sulfate salt and a reducing agent.
- A nickel layer chemically deposits on the bar surface.
- After the plate is dried on the surface, we prepare the bus bar for further operations.
Advantages of Tuling’s Nickel-plated Copper Busbar
Our nickel-plated copper bus bars can resist corrosion caused by a high-humidity environment. The plating increases the electrical conductivity and ensures smooth power distribution to all channels.
Nickel coating also improves the solderability of the bus bars. Therefore, soldering new connections becomes easier with our nickel-plated copper bars.
Customizing Our Nickel-plated Bus Bar
Our production floor has over 50 presses, laser machines, CNC machines, and milling machines to follow your specifications. We can cut M6-type holes for connections, maintaining an ideal distance of 72 mm between them.
We can also customize the dimensions of nickel-plated copper bus bars according to your ampacity requirement. For a better understanding, check out our copper bus bar current capacity chart.
Tuling Nickel-plated Copper Bus Bar Applications
Tuling nickel-coated copper bus bars are widely used as power batteries and solar power storage. These bars are suitable for both low and high voltage applications.
Our busbars flawlessly distribute large amounts of current. They are found in power rooms, distribution cabinets, big-ampere power transmission connections, and power switch circuit breakers.
Our bus bars can perform at -40°C to 150°C temperatures without any degradation in the performance.
We are open to discussing and conducting any performance tests you want. Our facility allows us to carry out hardness, corrosion, thickness, and adhesion tests. We can also manage Hipot and discharge tests for the bus bars
