Eaton EVG-16/3PHAS/12MODUL 3-Phase Busbar 16mm² 80A 12 Modules

The Eaton EVG-16/3PHAS/12MODUL is a professional-grade 3-phase busbar engineered for streamlined power distribution within electrical switchboards. Featuring a robust 16mm² cross-section and an 80A rated current capacity, this component is designed to facilitate secure and efficient electrical connections across multiple modular devices. It serves as an essential link for organizing complex wiring in distribution boards, ensuring consistent power flow and structural integrity for your electrical infrastructure.

Advantages

This busbar significantly reduces installation time by eliminating the need for individual jumper wires between circuit breakers. Its high-conductivity design ensures minimal power loss and heat generation, contributing to the overall longevity and safety of the electrical system. The rigid construction provides a stable mounting platform, while the standardized 12-module length offers versatility for various configurations in both industrial and residential settings.

Suitable for

• Connecting multiple modular circuit protection devices in a single row
• Industrial electrical distribution panels
• Residential consumer units and switchboards
• Systems utilizing PLS, CLS, PKN, PFIM, PFHM, and PFNM series components

When it may not be suitable

This busbar is not intended for use in circuits exceeding its 80A rated current capacity or for applications requiring a different phase configuration. It is specifically designed for compatible Eaton modular devices and may not fit equipment from other manufacturers or different series that do not align with the standard module spacing.

Key specifications

• Phase configuration: 3-phase
• Cross-section: 16mm²
• Rated current: 80A
• Module capacity: 12 modules
• Compatibility: PLS, CLS, PKN, PFIM, PFHM, and PFNM series

How to use

To install the busbar, first ensure that the main power supply to the switchboard is completely disconnected. Measure and cut the busbar to the required length if necessary, ensuring that the ends are properly insulated with end caps to prevent accidental contact. Align the busbar pins with the terminals of the modular devices and insert them securely. Tighten the terminal screws on the circuit breakers to ensure a firm, low-resistance connection. Verify that all connections are secure before restoring power.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the total number of modules required for your specific switchboard layout
• Ensure the 80A current rating is sufficient for your circuit load
• Check compatibility with your existing circuit breakers or RCDs
• Confirm that the 16mm² cross-section meets your local electrical installation standards

Usage recommendations

Always use appropriate end covers to protect against live parts and ensure that the busbar is installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local safety regulations.
