Bus bar Rittal SV 3590.020 — copper, 2400 mm length

Rittal SV 3590.020 is a single-piece copper bus bar with a length of 2400 mm, designed for use in electrical distribution and power bus systems. Manufactured from solid copper, it provides a continuous conductive path intended for switchgear, distribution panels, and industrial enclosures that require reliable current carrying capacity and stable electrical connections.

Advantages

The bus bar offers high electrical conductivity and consistent performance under load thanks to its solid copper construction. Its single-piece format reduces joint losses and simplifies installation compared with multiple-segment solutions. The 2400 mm length is suitable for spanning common cabinet widths and for use in modular distribution systems where a long, uninterrupted conductor is preferred.

Suitable for

• Internal power distribution in switchgear and distribution panels
• Busbar systems in industrial electrical cabinets and enclosures
• Applications requiring solid copper conductors for stable current flow
• Retrofit or new-build installations where a 2400 mm conductor length is required

When it may not be suitable

This copper bus bar may not be appropriate where insulated or covered busbars are required for additional safety or where space constraints prevent accommodating a 2400 mm single-piece conductor. It is not intended as a finished, mounted assembly — additional supports, insulating sleeves, and connection hardware are typically necessary for safe installation.

Key specifications

• Material: solid copper
• Length: 2400 mm
• Cross-section format: flat bar (rectangular profile)
• Typical applications: electrical distribution and power bus systems in panels and enclosures

How to use

Measure and mark the required mounting points inside the cabinet or enclosure, ensuring compatibility with panel layouts and clearances. Cut or drill appropriate mounting slots or supports as needed; use insulating supports and proper fixing hardware to secure the bus bar. Make electrical connections using suitable bolted terminals or connectors rated for the expected current and torque specifications. Follow local electrical codes and manufacturer guidelines for grounding, spacing, and phase identification to ensure safe operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify required conductor length and cabinet dimensions to ensure the 2400 mm piece fits without excessive modification
• Confirm current carrying requirements and whether additional plating or busbar sizing is needed for higher currents
• Plan for appropriate insulating supports, clearances, and connection hardware
• Check compatibility with existing busbar systems and panel layout constraints

Usage recommendations

Install with insulated supports and correctly rated terminal hardware, maintain manufacturer-recommended clearances, and inspect connections for tightness and corrosion periodically to ensure long-term reliable performance of the copper bus bar.
