Bus bar Rittal SV 3575.005 5x40 mm laminated copper, length 2000 mm

Rittal SV 3575.005 is a single laminated copper bus bar designed for use in electrical enclosures and switchgear. With a cross-section of 5 x 40 mm and a length of 2000 mm, this bus bar is formed from high-purity electrolytic copper lamina to provide a low-resistance conductive path for power distribution and busbar systems. Supplied as one continuous bar, it is intended for secure mounting in distribution panels, switchboards and industrial control cabinets where stable, long-term current carrying capability is required.

Advantages

The laminated copper construction ensures consistent electrical conductivity and mechanical strength while reducing the risk of hot spots. A 5 x 40 mm cross-section balances current capacity with compact installation dimensions, and the 2000 mm length covers long runs inside larger enclosures without the need for joints. The use of electrolytic high-purity copper improves corrosion resistance and offers predictable electrical performance under load.

Suitable for

• Power distribution busbars in switchboards and distribution panels
• Internal conductor runs in industrial control and automation cabinets
• Applications requiring low-resistance connections for high-current circuits
• Retrofit or new installations where a single continuous bar of 2000 mm is required

When it may not be suitable

This bus bar is a solid laminated copper bar with fixed cross-section and length; it may not be suitable for installations that require flexible busbar systems, different cross-sections, or shorter prefabricated segments. If the project requires plated or insulated bars, additional coating or insulation must be specified separately as this product is supplied as bare copper lamina.

Key specifications

• Material: high-purity electrolytic copper lamina
• Cross-section: 5 x 40 mm
• Thickness profile: laminated copper layers forming the 5 x 40 mm section
• Length: 2000 mm (single continuous bar)
• Form: flat laminated bus bar suitable for mechanical fastening and busbar supports

How to use

Measure and plan mounting points inside the enclosure, allowing for terminal connections and required clearances. Cut to length or drill mounting and terminal holes according to approved electrical drawings and safety standards; use appropriate tools for copper to ensure clean edges. Secure the bus bar with compatible insulators, spacers and fasteners rated for the expected current and mechanical load. Make all electrical connections with properly sized lugs or terminals and tighten according to torque specifications. After installation, verify continuity and insulation clearances before energising the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the required cross-section and current carrying capacity for your application
• Check enclosure internal dimensions to ensure the 2000 mm length fits or allows for cutting
• Determine if additional coating, plating or insulation is necessary for your environment
• Verify compatible mounting accessories (insulators, spacers, fasteners, terminal lugs)

Usage recommendations

Use this laminated copper bus bar in conjunction with appropriate insulating supports and correctly sized connectors. For reliable, long-term performance, follow applicable electrical standards for spacing, torque and protection; perform routine visual and thermal inspections after commissioning.
