Bus bar Rittal SV 3590.015, copper, length 2400 mm, single-piece

Rittal SV 3590.015 is a single-piece copper bus bar with a length of 2400 mm designed for use in switchgear, distribution boards and control cabinets. Manufactured from conductive copper, this bus bar provides a reliable current-carrying path for high-current connections and grounding in industrial and commercial electrical installations. The single-piece construction simplifies mounting and minimises contact joints, supporting stable electrical continuity and reduced resistance.

Advantages

The copper construction ensures high electrical conductivity and thermal stability, suitable for demanding current loads. Supplied as one continuous piece, the bus bar reduces the number of bolted joints required and lowers the risk of loose connections. The 2400 mm length fits larger panels and allows flexible placement and connection options within standard cabinet layouts. Compatibility with common electrical mounting practices makes installation straightforward for qualified electricians.

Suitable for

• Current distribution and grounding in switchgear and distribution cabinets
• Industrial and commercial electrical installations requiring copper conductors
• Applications where a single-piece bus bar reduces joint resistance and maintenance
• Retrofit or new-build control panels with available space for a 2400 mm bar

When it may not be suitable

This bus bar is a solid copper single-piece unit 2400 mm in length and may not be suitable for installations with limited internal cabinet space or where segmented bus bars are required to navigate obstacles. It is not intended for use as a finished insulated conductor; additional insulation, mounting hardware or covers may be required depending on the local electrical code and safety requirements.

Key specifications

• Material: Copper (electro-conductive copper)
• Form: Single-piece, straight bar
• Length: 2400 mm
• Typical cross-section profile: flat bar type suitable for bolted connections (refer to technical drawing for exact dimensions)
• Typical applications: busbar for high-current distribution and grounding in cabinets

How to use

Install the bus bar in the cabinet using appropriate insulated supports and secure with correctly sized bolts and washers at recommended fixing points. Ensure surfaces to be connected are clean and free of oxidation; apply anti-oxidation compound where specified by local practice. Verify clearances to live parts and fit protective insulation or covers as required by standards. All installation work should be carried out by a qualified electrician following applicable national and local regulations and the panel manufacturer's instructions.

What to consider before purchase

• Available internal cabinet length and space for a 2400 mm single-piece bar
• Required current rating and cross-sectional area for your specific installation
• Need for additional insulation, mounting supports or protective covers
• Compatibility with existing busbar mounting systems and fastening hardware

Usage recommendations

Use this Rittal copper bus bar for main distribution and grounding when continuous conductivity and minimal joint count are priorities. Confirm current ratings and clearances, secure with appropriate hardware, and apply protective insulation or covers where required to meet safety standards.
