Grounding hardware Rittal 2412.210, height 200 mm

Rittal 2412.210 grounding hardware, height 200 mm, is a tin-plated copper earthing component designed for reliable equipotential bonding in electrical enclosures and control cabinets. The part provides a compact fixed grounding point with press-fitted contact rings, enabling a low-resistance connection and stable earthing across distribution and industrial switchgear installations. Its construction addresses current displacement effects at higher frequencies while maintaining flexibility for different connection layouts.

Advantages

The tin-plated copper material ensures good conductivity and corrosion resistance for long-term performance. Press-fitted contact rings deliver secure mechanical and electrical contact without the need for additional soldering, reducing installation time. The 200 mm height provides a compact solution for cabinets and enclosures with limited internal space while still allowing several connection points. The design minimizes impedance at high frequencies, helping to preserve EMC and reduce stray currents.

How to use

Install the grounding hardware at the designated grounding rail or mounting point inside the enclosure, ensuring secure mechanical fastening according to cabinet layout and safety regulations. Connect the earthing strap to the main protective earth conductor or grounding busbar using the press-fitted contact rings, verifying tight contact and continuity with a suitable tester. Route connecting conductors to avoid sharp bends or mechanical stress and maintain clear separation from live conductors where required.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with local earthing standards and the enclosure's layout before installation. Ensure all connections are clean and free of paint or oxidation to achieve low contact resistance. For installations subject to vibration or frequent maintenance, periodically inspect the press-fitted connections and retighten mounting hardware as needed.
