Cover plate Rittal SV 9683.720, steel housing, pack of 2

Rittal SV 9683.720 is a steel cover plate supplied as a pack of 2, designed for use with electrical enclosures and control cabinets. The plates are finished in natural steel colour and intended to provide a protective and neat closure for cabinet openings, particularly in the roof section where main busbar systems require form separation with compartment dividers.

Advantages

The steel construction provides mechanical strength and durability while maintaining a consistent appearance with steel enclosures. Delivered as a pair, the set simplifies installation of symmetrical openings or dual compartments. The cover plates are compatible with common industrial enclosure environments and support separation of busbar compartments to meet installation layout requirements.

Suitable for

• Creating a protective cover for cabinet roof openings in electrical enclosures
• Achieving form separation for main busbar systems with compartment dividers
• Industrial control panels and enclosure installations where steel finish is required
• Retrofit or new-build electrical cabinet assemblies with matching dimensions

When it may not be suitable

This product is a simple steel cover plate and does not include mounting hardware or seals; if a fully sealed, IP-rated closure is required, additional components or a different product may be needed. It is intended for use where natural steel finish and mechanical protection are sufficient rather than aesthetic surface treatments or corrosion-resistant coatings.

Key specifications

• Material: steel
• Finish: natural steel colour
• Quantity: pack of 2 plates
• Application area: roof section of electrical enclosures for busbar compartment separation

How to use

Position the cover plates to close the intended opening in the enclosure roof or compartment area, aligning with existing compartment dividers and mounting points. Secure the plates using appropriate fasteners compatible with the enclosure frame; verify mechanical fit and clearance for busbar systems before tightening. For installations that require electrical isolation or environmental sealing, add the necessary gaskets, spacers or insulating supports as specified by the enclosure design.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify plate dimensions and hole pattern match the enclosure or cabinet model
• Confirm that natural steel finish meets corrosion resistance or painting requirements for your environment
• Determine whether additional mounting hardware, gaskets or coatings are required
• Ensure compatibility with the enclosure’s busbar layout and compartment dividers

Usage recommendations

Handle the steel plates with appropriate protective gloves to avoid sharp edges during installation, and assess whether surface treatment or protective coating is needed for long-term corrosion protection in humid or outdoor environments.
