Bus bar Rittal SV 3582.000, copper Coolmax, 20×5 mm, length 2400 mm, pack of 6

Rittal SV 3582.000 is a pack of six Coolmax copper bus bars intended for electrical distribution and switchgear assemblies. Each bus bar is a solid electrolytic copper (E-Cu) conductor with a rectangular cross-section of 20×5 mm and a length of 2400 mm. The set is supplied as six identical bars, suitable for parallel runs or multi-phase installations in enclosures, distribution boards and busbar systems where reliable current carrying capacity and good thermal performance are required.

Advantages

The Coolmax copper composition provides stable electrical conductivity and reduced resistive losses compared with lower-grade conductors. Solid 20×5 mm cross-section ensures uniform current distribution and mechanical robustness for secure mounting. The 2400 mm length is suitable for many standard enclosure widths and can be supported with common busbar mounting hardware. Supplied as a 6-piece pack, this product simplifies ordering for multi-pole or parallel configurations and reduces the need for individual bar selection.

Suitable for

• Electrical distribution rails in industrial enclosures and control cabinets
• Switchgear and busbar systems requiring parallel or multi-phase conductors
• Applications needing solid copper conductors with good thermal and electrical properties
• Retrofit or new installations where 2400 mm bar length fits standard layouts

When it may not be suitable

This set of solid copper bus bars is not intended for applications that require insulated, laminated or segmented busbar designs; additional insulation or supports may be needed depending on clearances and system voltage. The product does not include connectors, insulators, mounting hardware or protective sleeves, so it may not be ready-to-install in systems that require those accessories.

Key specifications

• Material: electrolytic copper (Coolmax)
• Cross-section: 20 × 5 mm (rectangular)
• Length: 2400 mm per bar
• Quantity: 6 bars per pack
• Form: solid conductor
• Typical applications: DC and AC distribution in enclosures and switchgear

How to use

Measure and plan the mounting points inside the enclosure to ensure correct clearances and alignment. Cut or drill appropriate supports and grounding points if required by the installation. Fix the bus bars using compatible clamps or insulators designed for 20×5 mm copper bars, and maintain recommended phase-to-phase and phase-to-earth distances according to local electrical standards. Make connections with suitable bolted connectors or crimped terminals sized for solid copper conductors and apply torque values as specified by the connector manufacturer. If insulation or protective covers are required, fit them after mechanical and electrical connections are completed.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a 20×5 mm solid copper bar and 2400 mm length fit the enclosure dimensions and layout
• Confirm required current rating and thermal performance for your load conditions
• Check compatibility with existing mounting hardware, insulators and connector types
• Account for any additional accessories needed: covers, insulators, connectors, or supports
• Ensure compliance with applicable electrical codes and clearance requirements for your installation

Usage recommendations

Use the Rittal SV 3582.000 bus bars in well-ventilated enclosures with appropriate mechanical supports and electrical insulation. For multi-phase or parallel runs, ensure even current sharing and consistent connections across all bars. Periodically inspect connections for tightness and signs of corrosion, and apply anti-oxidation treatment to exposed copper terminations if required by the operating environment.
