Can silver plated bus bar be tin plated?
2004
Dear Sir,
In 600 VAC switchgear panel all the buss bars were silver plated and due to oxidation it been rejected. Is it possible to tin plate over silver, will it be technically acceptable.
Please advise Thanks.

Yes you can, but better you strip the silver off.
