Two questions regarding sources of supply:

1. Who supplies bus bars in North America? Seems like a common enough product, but finding it has proven to be non-trivial.

2. Who supplies hook-up wire, twisted pairs, coax, etc, in small sizes (less than 1.5 sq. mm) that have fire ratings like IEC 60331 and 60332? I'm looking for the European equivalent of Belden or Alpha.

3. Lastly, any high power (35 kV,650 A) test labs on the east coast of the US? I've found two in Canada (IREQ and Kinectrics (and Powertech on the west coast)).
 
1. You can buy Copper bus bars from any electrical house like Graybar or G.E. Supply or Wesco.
2. Try Anixter Wire & Cable, if anybody can, they can.
3. Contact G.E. Industrial Services. Does it have to be in the West coast. Westinghouse Field Services has offices everywhere.
