Grounding hardware Rittal 2412.225, metallic finish, height 200 mm

Rittal 2412.225 grounding hardware in a metallic finish is a compact earthing component with a height of 200 mm designed for use in electrical enclosures and switchgear. Manufactured from tin-plated copper with press-fitted contact rings, this grounding part provides a reliable connection point for protective earth and is intended to ensure consistent conductivity in industrial and commercial installations where space and robust performance are required.

Advantages

The tin-plated copper construction offers good conductivity and corrosion resistance while the press-fitted contact rings create a stable electrical contact. The metallic finish provides a durable surface for installation inside cabinets and switchgear. The component’s compact 200 mm height allows installation in confined spaces and supports flexible connection options for various cross-sections and lengths of earthing straps.

How to use

Mount the grounding hardware at the designated earthing point inside the enclosure or switchgear using appropriate fastening screws and torque settings for the installation. Attach earthing straps to the press-fitted contact rings ensuring correct cross-section and length for the required current-carrying capacity. Verify that all connections are mechanically secure and provide low-resistance continuity to the local protective earth conductor before energising the system.

Recommendations

Use earthing straps of suitable cross-section and length to minimise impedance and counteract current displacement effects at high frequencies. Ensure regular visual and electrical inspection to confirm corrosion-free contacts and secure mechanical fixation. Follow applicable national and international earthing and bonding standards during installation.
