ELEKTROPLAST 3-Phase PIN Busbar 16mm2 100A 12 Pins IZS16/3F/12/D

The ELEKTROPLAST 3-Phase PIN Busbar 16mm2 100A 12 Pins IZS16/3F/12/D is a professional-grade power distribution component designed for electrical switchboards. It provides a reliable and efficient method for connecting modular circuit breakers and residual current devices (RCDs) within a 3-phase electrical system. By replacing traditional wire jumpers, this busbar ensures a clean, organized, and safe installation, reducing the risk of loose connections and improving overall panel maintenance.

Advantages

This busbar offers significant benefits for electrical installations, primarily through its ability to streamline the wiring process. The rigid PIN-type design ensures a secure and consistent contact with terminal blocks, which minimizes heat generation caused by high resistance. Its 16mm2 cross-section and 100A current rating make it robust enough for demanding applications, while the 12-pin configuration allows for the simultaneous connection of multiple modular devices, significantly saving time during assembly and reducing the complexity of the wiring layout.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical distribution panels
• Residential switchboard installations
• Connecting modular circuit breakers
• Wiring residual current devices (RCDs)
• Three-phase power distribution systems

When it may not be suitable

This busbar is not suitable for applications requiring a different phase configuration, such as single-phase systems, or for devices that do not feature standard PIN-type terminal connections. It should not be used in environments where the total current load exceeds the 100A rating, as this could lead to overheating and potential system failure.

Key specifications

• Type: 3-Phase PIN busbar
• Cross-section: 16mm2
• Rated current: 100A
• Number of pins: 12

How to use

To install the busbar, first ensure that the main power supply to the switchboard is completely disconnected. Measure the required length and cut the busbar if necessary, ensuring that the ends are properly insulated with end caps to prevent accidental contact. Insert the PIN terminals into the corresponding slots of the modular circuit breakers or RCDs. Once all pins are correctly seated, tighten the terminal screws on the devices to ensure a firm mechanical and electrical connection. Verify that the busbar is securely fixed before restoring power.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of your circuit breakers with PIN-type connections
• Ensure the 12-pin length is sufficient for your specific switchboard layout
• Check that the 100A current rating meets your system requirements
• Confirm that the 16mm2 cross-section is appropriate for your installation standards

Usage recommendations

Always use appropriate end caps to cover exposed ends of the busbar to maintain safety standards and prevent short circuits. Ensure all terminal screws are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque settings to maintain optimal electrical conductivity.
