Grounding hardware Rittal 2412.316, metallic, height 300 mm

Rittal 2412.316 grounding hardware in a metallic finish is a 300 mm high earthing strap assembly designed for electrical enclosures and industrial control cabinets. Constructed from tin-plated copper with press-fitted contact rings, it provides a conductive connection point to meet earthing requirements and to minimise current displacement effects at higher frequencies. The robust metallic finish and flexible connection options make it suitable for use in switchgear, distribution panels and other electrical installations requiring reliable grounding.

Advantages

The tin-plated copper construction ensures low electrical resistance and good corrosion resistance, while press-fitted contact rings offer secure, repeatable terminations. The earthing strap design reduces high-frequency current displacement and provides flexibility for routing and connection in confined cabinet spaces. The 300 mm height gives a standardized mounting length that is easy to install in typical enclosure layouts.

How to use

Attach the grounding hardware to the designated earth point inside the enclosure using appropriate fasteners and ensure the press-fitted contact rings are correctly positioned for the mating terminal or stud. Route the strap to avoid sharp edges and mechanical strain, and secure any loose sections to prevent vibration-induced movement. Verify continuity with an appropriate tester after installation to confirm a low-resistance path to the main earthing system.

Recommendations

Use appropriate torque values for terminal connections, protect the strap from mechanical damage or abrasion, and maintain accessibility for inspection. Select a grounding path that follows local electrical codes and standards; when in doubt, consult a qualified electrician to ensure proper installation and compliance.
