Bus bar set Rittal SV 3584.020 — 3 pcs, 2400 mm, aluminium with copper conductor

Rittal SV 3584.020 bus bar set includes three 2400 mm copper-coated aluminium bars designed for electrical distribution in enclosures and switchgear. The copper coating provides improved conductivity compared to bare aluminium while keeping the bars lightweight and resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for fixed busbar installations in industrial and commercial electrical panels.

Advantages

The copper-coated aluminium construction offers a balance of conductivity and reduced weight compared with solid copper, and the length of 2400 mm suits longer runs without additional joints. Supplied as a set of three bars, this product simplifies procurement for three-phase installations and reduces installation time. The surface finish improves corrosion resistance and contact reliability in typical enclosure environments.

Suitable for

• Three-phase power distribution in electrical enclosures and switchboards
• Fixed busbar connections where long straight runs are required
• Industrial and commercial electrical panels requiring lightweight conductive busbars

When it may not be suitable

This copper-coated aluminium busbar is not intended as a direct substitute where national or project specifications mandate solid copper conductors. It may also be unsuitable in applications with extremely high continuous current demands if solid copper conductors are specifically required for thermal performance. For specialized grounding or bonding requirements, check relevant regulations before use.

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium core with copper coating
• Dimensions (per bar): 30 x 5 mm cross-section, 2400 mm length
• Quantity per pack: 3 pieces

How to use

Measure and mark the enclosure mounting points, then secure the busbars using appropriate insulated supports or mounting hardware to ensure electrical clearance and mechanical stability. Make electrical connections using suitable bolts, washers and torque values recommended for coated aluminium conductors; ensure contact surfaces are clean and compatible with plated aluminium to maintain low-resistance joints. Follow local electrical codes and safety procedures during installation and verify connections with appropriate testing before energizing.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that copper-coated aluminium busbars meet project and regulatory requirements for conductor material
• Verify required cross-section and current-carrying capacity for your installation
• Ensure 2400 mm length and pack quantity (3 pieces) fit the enclosure layout and phase arrangement

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use proper mounting hardware and torque settings specified for plated aluminium conductors, ensure clean mating surfaces, and consult relevant standards when substituting for solid copper busbars.
