Stripping apparatus (4) for an electrical bar conductor (8) having a metal core with two longer sides (12) and two shorter sides (16) coated with an electrically insulating coating (20). The apparatus (4) comprises a first stripping portion (24) that at least partly houses the conductor (8) arranged along a prevailing extension (X-X), so as to rest on one of said longer sides (12) cantilevered relative to a pair of supports (28). The first stripping station (24) houses a first pair of broaches (40), opposite to one another and arranged at opposite sides relative to the conductor (8), said broaches (40) being axially movable relative to a cross working direction (Y-Y) perpendicular to the prevailing extension (X-X). The broaches (40) are aligned with said stripping portion (36) relative to the prevailing extension (X-X), so as to carry out the removal of the insulating coating (20) at the stripping portion (36) comprised cantilevered between the supports (28).
