Where Can I Find This Bus Bar Material?

[bellington]

Can someone tell me what this material is? It is 10mm thick, and 60mm wide. It is the ground bus bar on a switch gear. I assume it is copper with some coating. I need a piece to bridge a gap we had to create between cabinets. It needs to be 20-3/4" long, with a hole on each end with 18-1/4" center to center. Bolt holes need to be 11mm elongated to 13mm lengthwise. Does anyone know of a supplier for metric bus ground bar?

I would think you could use any conductive link of adequate ampacity, or even two lugs and a wire.

But don't hold me to that.

I would just get a chunk of appropriately sized wire and a couple of lugs.

I agree with the others but you can try Harger. Besides their catalogue bars they also make custom bars.

If this truly switchgear, it is possible this is silver plated bus, which was fairly common 50 years ago, although it looks like tin plated aluminum. The are parts brazed together and then plated after fabrication.
