Bus bar Rittal 3585.005 copper 3 pcs 2400 mm

Rittal 3585.005 is a set of three copper bus bars, each 2400 mm in length, supplied as a 3-piece pack for electrical distribution and grounding in switchgear and control cabinets. These rigid copper conductors are intended to provide stable current carrying paths in industrial and commercial installations where reliable power distribution and earthing are required.

Advantages

The three-piece pack of copper bus bars offers consistent conductivity and mechanical strength for medium- to high-current applications. Manufactured to dimensional stability, the bars simplify installation across multiple phases or parallel conductors and reduce the need for additional conductors. Copper material ensures low electrical resistance and long-term performance under normal operating conditions.

Suitable for

• Power distribution bus systems in switchgear and control cabinets
• Grounding and earthing conductors in industrial and commercial installations
• Phase separation or parallel conductor arrangements in distribution panels
• Retrofit or new-build electrical distribution where 2400 mm conductor length is required

When it may not be suitable

These solid copper bus bars are intended for installations that accept rigid conductors of the specified dimensions (20 x 10 mm cross-section and 2400 mm length). They may not be suitable where flexible connectors, busbar trunking systems, or different cross-sections and lengths are required. For environments with aggressive chemical exposure or unusual mechanical stress, a different material or protective treatment may be necessary.

Key specifications

• Material: copper (E-Cu)
• Quantity: 3 pieces per pack
• Length: 2400 mm per bar
• Cross-section: 20 x 10 mm
• Application: electrical distribution and grounding in switchgear and control cabinets

How to use

Measure and mark mounting points inside the switchgear or distribution cabinet to match the 2400 mm length and required phase spacing. Secure the bus bars using appropriate insulated supports, clamps, or mounting hardware compatible with copper conductors and the cabinet design. Make electrical connections using correctly sized bolted joints, washers, and torque values recommended for copper conductors to ensure low-resistance contacts. Observe electrical safety practices: disconnect supply, confirm absence of voltage, and use personal protective equipment during installation and testing.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that 2400 mm length and 20 x 10 mm cross-section fit the cabinet layout and clearances
• Verify current-carrying requirements and ensure copper bars meet the load and thermal limits of the installation
• Check compatibility with mounting hardware, insulators, and connection methods used in the panel
• Assess environmental conditions (moisture, corrosive atmosphere) to decide if additional protection is needed

Usage recommendations

Install bus bars in accordance with applicable electrical standards and manufacturer guidelines; use proper torque for bolted connections, ensure good electrical contact surfaces, and avoid mechanical stresses that could deform the bars. Periodic inspection of connections and insulation is recommended to maintain reliable distribution and grounding performance.
