Bus bar Rittal SV 3582.020 — pack of 6, 2400 mm, Aluminium/Copper

Rittal SV 3582.020 bus bar set includes six straight conductors, each 2400 mm long, made with a combined aluminium and copper design. Intended for use in switchgear and control panel assemblies, this bus bar provides a continuous conductive path for power distribution in industrial and commercial electrical installations. The construction balances mechanical strength, conductivity and ease of mounting to support reliable electrical distribution.

Advantages

The aluminium/copper combination offers a compromise between weight and conductivity, reducing overall mass compared with full-copper bars while maintaining improved electrical performance compared with pure aluminium. Supplied as a pack of six 2400 mm pieces, the set simplifies procurement and installation planning for multi-phase or multi-rail systems. The straight, uniform profile facilitates alignment and secure attachment within standard busbar mounting systems.

Suitable for

• Power distribution busbars in industrial switchgear and control cabinets
• Multi-rail installations where several parallel conductors are required
• Applications requiring a balance of mechanical strength and electrical conductivity
• Retrofit or new-build electrical distribution panels in commercial buildings

When it may not be suitable

This bus bar set is not intended for use as exposed conductors in environments that require full corrosion resistance or where continuous outdoor exposure to aggressive atmospheres is expected without additional protection. It may not be the best choice when the highest possible conductivity per cross-section is required; in such cases, full-copper conductors might be preferred.

Key specifications

• Quantity: 6 conductors per pack
• Length: 2400 mm per conductor
• Material construction: aluminium and copper composite
• Form factor: straight bus bar rails suitable for standard mounting

How to use

Plan the busbar arrangement in the switchgear or control cabinet, ensuring proper spacing, insulation and support according to the electrical design and applicable standards. Cut or terminate the bars only with tools and procedures appropriate for aluminium/copper composites and attach using recommended fasteners and insulating supports. Verify connections are tightened to specified torque values and perform insulation and continuity tests before energizing the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Compatibility with your panel's mounting system and required spacing between conductors
• Current-carrying requirements and whether aluminium/copper composite meets your conductivity needs
• Environmental conditions (indoor vs outdoor, corrosive atmospheres) and need for protective treatments
• Required cutting, termination and fastener types for composite conductors

Usage recommendations

Use insulated supports and appropriate clearances when installing these bus bars. Follow local electrical codes for busbar spacing and protective measures, and perform torque checks and insulation tests prior to commissioning.
