Eti-Polam IZ16/3F/12/STV Fork Busbar 3-Phase 100A 16mm2 12-Module

The Eti-Polam IZ16/3F/12/STV is a professional-grade 3-phase fork-type busbar engineered for streamlined power distribution within electrical switchboards. Designed to facilitate the connection of modular devices, this component provides a robust and organized solution for managing electrical circuits. With a cross-section of 16mm2 and a current rating of 100A, it is built to handle demanding electrical loads while maintaining high safety standards in distribution panels.

Advantages

This fork busbar significantly reduces installation time by eliminating the need for complex individual wiring between modular components. Its design ensures a consistent and secure electrical contact, which minimizes the risk of loose connections and overheating. By utilizing this busbar, technicians can achieve a clean and professional layout inside the switchboard, which simplifies future maintenance and troubleshooting tasks. The durable construction supports long-term reliability in various electrical environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting modular circuit breakers in 3-phase systems
• Power distribution in residential and commercial electrical panels
• Organizing wiring for RCDs and contactors
• Switchboard assembly requiring high current capacity

When it may not be suitable

This busbar is specifically designed for fork-type terminals and may not be compatible with devices requiring pin-type connections. It is also not suitable for applications exceeding its 100A current rating or for installations where the physical spacing of the modular devices does not align with the standard module pitch.

Key specifications

• Phase: 3-phase
• Current rating: 100A
• Cross-section: 16mm2
• Capacity: 12 modules
• Connection type: Fork

How to use

To install the busbar, first ensure that the 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 fork terminals with the corresponding terminals of the modular devices. Insert the forks into the device terminals and tighten the screws securely to ensure a firm connection. Verify that all connections are tight and that the busbar is correctly seated before restoring power.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the terminal type of your modular devices (fork vs. pin)
• Ensure the 12-module length is sufficient for your specific layout
• Confirm that the total load of the connected devices does not exceed 100A
• Check the compatibility of the busbar pitch with your circuit breakers

Usage recommendations

Always use appropriate end covers to protect exposed live parts and ensure compliance with local electrical safety regulations. Regularly inspect the connections during routine maintenance to ensure they remain tight and free from signs of thermal stress.
