Bus bar Rittal SV 3584.000 – copper, 30×5 mm, length 2400 mm, pack of 6

Rittal SV 3584.000 is a solid copper bus bar with a cross-section of 30×5 mm and a length of 2400 mm, supplied as a pack of six. Engineered for electrical distribution, panel building and switchgear applications, this bus bar provides a continuous conductive path for power and earthing connections in distribution boards and control cabinets where high-conductivity copper conductors are required.

Advantages

The copper construction offers excellent electrical conductivity and consistent performance under load, ensuring low resistive losses and stable connections. The 30×5 mm cross-section balances current-carrying capacity with mechanical rigidity, and the long 2400 mm length reduces the number of joints needed in many cabinet layouts. Supplied as a pack of six pieces, the product simplifies procurement for multi-bay installations or spare parts provisioning.

Suitable for

• Power distribution bars in switchgear and control cabinets
• Main and sub-distribution bus in electrical panels
• Earthing and bonding conductors where solid copper is required
• Applications requiring mechanically robust conductive bars with predictable dimensions

When it may not be suitable

This solid copper bus bar is not suitable for applications that require insulated or coated bus bars; additional insulation or isolation accessories will be needed if electrical separation is required. It may also be less convenient where flexible connections or frequent shaping are required, as solid copper bars are less pliable than braided or flexible conductors.

Key specifications

• Material: copper (solid)
• Cross-section: 30 × 5 mm
• Length: 2400 mm per piece
• Pack quantity: 6 pieces
• Form: flat bar suitable for drilling, cutting and bolted connections

How to use

Measure and mark the required lengths for the bus bars inside the enclosure, taking into account terminal positions and clearance requirements. Cut and deburr the ends where necessary, then drill holes for bolted connections following manufacturer torque recommendations for connectors and terminals. Secure the bars using appropriate insulating spacers or supports to maintain clearance and prevent contact with the cabinet body. Where insulation is required, apply specified insulating sleeves or covers to exposed conductive surfaces before energising the installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required current-carrying capacity and thermal limits for your application
• Confirm enclosure dimensions and mounting space to accommodate 2400 mm bar length
• Determine whether insulating covers or spacers are needed for your installation
• Plan for cutting, drilling and safe handling of bare copper to prevent burrs and galvanic contact

Usage recommendations

Use corrosion-resistant fasteners and appropriate insulating supports; follow local electrical codes for spacing and earthing. When joining multiple bars, ensure clean mating surfaces and use appropriate torque on bolted connections to maintain low-resistance joints. Store bars in a dry environment to avoid surface oxidation prior to installation.
