What Is Bus Bar Coating?

Bus bar coating is the use of the electrostatic spray, or fluidized Bed method, to apply durable epoxy coatings on Bus Bars to insulate them. Epoxy coatings are thermosetting dry powders that are used as protective covers on various electric conductors. Bus bar coatings are common in:

• The manufacturing of electrical equipment
• Nuclear and chemical plants
• Various outdoor applications
• Marine equipment
• Oil and gas offshore plants

What Materials/Products Can You Use Bus Bar Coating On?

Epoxy powder coatings are used on copper and aluminum surfaces. Bus bars are made of copper or aluminum and conduct a significant amount of electricity on a switchboard forming a junction between two or more electric circuits. Epoxy powder coatings can be applied to:

• Substations
• Distribution boards
• Battery banks
• High voltage fuses
• Switchgear



Epoxies are made from the polymerization of a resin and a hardener with a catalyst. Epoxies have high mechanical properties, and they can be modified for better thermal insulation and high electrical resistance. They also have high chemical and temperature resistance and are therefore the best coatings for conductors.

What Are the Advantages of Bus Bar Coatings?

The benefits of coating bus bars are:

• They improve conductivity
• Offer magnetic field protection
• They protect from electric shock
• Protect from high voltage
• They offer a buffer against environmental conditions
• Protect against corrosion
