Bus bar, Rittal SV 3586.005, copper, set of 3

Rittal SV 3586.005 is a set of three rigid copper bus bars designed for electrical distribution and grounding in switchgear, control cabinets and power distribution assemblies. Each bar is 2400 mm long and manufactured from copper to provide consistent conductivity and current carrying capacity for industrial and commercial electrical systems. The product is supplied as a pack of three bars, intended for integration into existing busbar systems or new installations that require reliable conductors for power distribution or protective earth connections.

Advantages

The copper construction ensures high electrical conductivity and low resistance, supporting efficient power transfer and reduced energy loss. The rigid form factor maintains mechanical stability and consistent spacing in assemblies, simplifying mounting and alignment. Supplied as a matched set of three, the bars allow straightforward installation of multi-phase or redundant conductors without the need to source individual pieces. The 2400 mm length suits common cabinet depths and allows for cutting to size if required.

How to use

Before installation, verify electrical requirements and ensure the bars meet required current rating and clearances for the application. Measure and mark the bars for any required cutting; cut and deburr using appropriate metalworking tools. Mount the bars in the cabinet or assembly using compatible insulators, brackets or supports to maintain clearances and prevent contact with live parts. Connect conductors or terminals using suitably sized lugs and torque to the manufacturer’s recommended values for secure electrical and mechanical connection. Perform insulation and continuity checks after installation and before energizing the system.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow local electrical codes when handling and installing copper bus bars. If cutting or drilling is necessary, treat exposed copper surfaces to prevent corrosion and ensure secure, conductive connections. For applications with high current loads, confirm sizing and cooling requirements with a qualified electrician or engineer.
