Mimic bus consists of a series of electrical
symbols and
designations used on the exterior of large switchgear panels
that mimic the wiring scheme within the panel. We manufacture
two types of mimic bus depending upon your application.
Those
types of bus include;
Polycarbonate/Lexan
Mimic Bus
BW Industries manufactures the majority or our mimic bus in
a more modern form utilizing 10mil polycarbonate which can
be reverse printed with customized colors, sizes and symbols
to suit all applications. The printed bus is then backed with
3M 467 or 468 Hi Performance adhesive to allow for easy
installation.
Advantages
over Plastic Mimic Bus:
• 10mil Thickness
• Reverse Printed to protect images
• Custom Colors and Symbols
• 3M Peel and Stick Application
• Can be trimmed to size

Mimic Bus
We can also manufacture the mimic bus by a more traditional
means from 1/16” or 1/8” plastic. This type of
mimic bus is generally used to match existing switchgear.
In the past, mimic bus was cut from thicker plastic stock
and screwed on to the panel. In some cases, when switchgear
is updated, it is necessary to match the mimic bus that is
already installed.
