Bus bar Rittal SV 3590.005 copper 3 pcs, length 2400 mm, E-Cu

Rittal SV 3590.005 is a set of three copper bus bars, each 2400 mm long, designed for use in electrical distribution and busbar systems. Manufactured from electrolytic copper (E-Cu), the bars are intended to provide reliable conductive connections in switchgear, distribution panels and industrial enclosures where robust current-carrying capacity and stable electrical contact are required.

Advantages

The copper composition (E-Cu) ensures high electrical conductivity and good mechanical strength, supporting efficient current transfer and low resistive losses. Supplied as a matching set of three bars, the product simplifies installation of three-phase systems and streamlines inventory management. The 2400 mm length accommodates larger enclosures and reduces the need for splicing or extending conductors.

Suitable for

• Three-phase busbar installations in switchgear and distribution cabinets
• Main and auxiliary power distribution in industrial control panels
• Retrofitting or replacing existing copper busbars in electrical enclosures
• Applications requiring long continuous copper conductors to minimize connections

When it may not be suitable

This set is intended specifically for applications that require bare copper bus bars. It may not be suitable where insulated, plated or aluminum bus bars are required for corrosion resistance, lower cost, or specific dimensional constraints. For installations with limited space or custom shapes, the fixed 2400 mm length and rectangular cross-section may require on-site cutting and fitting.

Key specifications

• Material: electrolytic copper (E-Cu)
• Quantity: set of 3 bars
• Length per bar: 2400 mm
• Typical form: flat rectangular cross-section suitable for mounting and bolted connections

How to use

Before installation, verify the electrical ratings and mechanical fit within the enclosure. Measure and mark any required cut points, then use appropriate cutting and deburring tools rated for copper to achieve clean edges. Secure the bus bars using compatible insulators, standoffs and bolted connectors, observing torque specifications for bolted joints and ensuring good metal-to-metal contact. Ensure proper earthing and follow local electrical codes when integrating the bus bars into panels or switchgear.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm material compatibility and whether bare copper is appropriate for the environment
• Check the required current carrying capacity and cross-sectional dimensions for your application
• Ensure the 2400 mm length fits the enclosure or plan for safe cutting/shortening
• Plan for necessary mounting hardware, insulators and connectors which may not be included

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use appropriately sized connectors and torque-controlled bolting, maintain clean contact surfaces, and provide adequate clearance and insulation between phases. Consider surface treatment or plating if the installation environment requires enhanced corrosion resistance.
