A method of preparing epoxy coated bus bars for use in electrical distribution equipment comprising: coating an uninsulated surface of a bus bar conductor with epoxy that is a crystalline solid which can exist in two states, a glassy state when below its glass transition temperature and a rubbery state when above its glass transition temperature, and letting the coating of insulating epoxy harden to the glassy state on the surface of the bus bar conductor; applying a localized induction heating to the bus bar conductor in a subject area of hardened coating of insulating epoxy until a temperature of the coating of the hardened insulating epoxy on the surface of the bus bar conductor in the subject area is at or above its glass transition temperature and the subject area of the coating of insulating epoxy is in the rubbery state, to avoid burning the epoxy; delaminating the coating of insulating epoxy in the rubbery state from the surface of the bus bar conductor in the subject area; cutting the subject area of the coating of rubbery insulating epoxy from the layer of epoxy remaining on the bus bar by bringing cutting tools into contact with the coating of rubbery insulating epoxy while at or above its glass transition temperature; mechanically disassociating the subject area of the coating of rubbery insulating epoxy from the surface of the bus bar conductor by drawing the cutting tools along a length of the bus bar conductor in the subject area to pull the coating of rubbery insulating epoxy free of the bus bar conductor and from the remaining layer of epoxy adjacent to the subject area and removing the coating of rubbery insulating epoxy of the subject area from the bus bar conductor based on heat retention by the bus bar from the induction heating, to create an exposed electrical contact area ; and allowing the epoxy coated bus bar with the electrical contact area to cool below the glass transition temperature to reharden any epoxy coating at a boundary of the electrical contact area . coating an uninsulated surface of a bus bar conductor with epoxy that is a crystalline solid which can exist in two states, a glassy state when below its glass transition temperature and a rubbery state when above its glass transition temperature, and letting the coating of insulating epoxy harden to the glassy state on the surface of the bus bar conductor; applying a localized induction heating to the bus bar conductor in a subject area of hardened coating of insulating epoxy until a temperature of the coating of the hardened insulating epoxy on the surface of the bus bar conductor in the subject area is at or above its glass transition temperature and the subject area of the coating of insulating epoxy is in the rubbery state, to avoid burning the epoxy; delaminating the coating of insulating epoxy in the rubbery state from the surface of the bus bar conductor in the subject area; cutting the subject area of the coating of rubbery insulating epoxy from the layer of epoxy remaining on the bus bar by bringing cutting tools into contact with the coating of rubbery insulating epoxy while at or above its glass transition temperature; mechanically disassociating the subject area of the coating of rubbery insulating epoxy from the surface of the bus bar conductor by drawing the cutting tools along a length of the bus bar conductor in the subject area to pull the coating of rubbery insulating epoxy free of the bus bar conductor and from the remaining layer of epoxy adjacent to the subject area and removing the coating of rubbery insulating epoxy of the subject area from the bus bar conductor based on heat retention by the bus bar from the induction heating, to create an exposed electrical contact area ; and allowing the epoxy coated bus bar with the electrical contact area to cool below the glass transition temperature to reharden any epoxy coating at a boundary of the electrical contact area . <EOS>
