Bus bar Rittal SV 9686.528, copper, set of 2, length 700 mm, cross-section 30×5 mm (BH)

Rittal SV 9686.528 is a set of two copper bus bars designed for electrical distribution and PE/PEN grounding in DIN-rail enclosures, switchgear and control cabinets. Each bar measures 700 mm in length with a rectangular cross-section of 30×5 mm (BH) and includes integral punchings to facilitate secure mounting and connection. The product conforms to DIN EN 13601 for materials and production.

Advantages

The copper construction ensures high electrical conductivity and low contact resistance, supporting reliable current carrying and grounding. The 30×5 mm cross-section and 700 mm length provide mechanical stability and compatibility with common cabinet layouts. Integrated punchings simplify installation and reduce the need for additional drilling or modification.

Suitable for

• PE/PEN grounding bars in industrial and commercial electrical panels
• DIN-rail enclosures and switchgear installations
• Control cabinets requiring robust conductive bus bar solutions
• Retrofit or new-build electrical distribution systems

When it may not be suitable

This set is intended for use as grounding or distribution bus bars; it may not be suitable where insulated, phase-specific bus bars are required or where space constraints prevent mounting a 700 mm length bar. It is also not intended to replace specialized bus systems designed for extremely high current ratings beyond the mechanical and thermal limits of a 30×5 mm copper section.

Key specifications

• Material: copper (E-Cu)
• Quantity: set of 2 bars
• Length: 700 mm per bar
• Cross-section: 30 × 5 mm (rectangular, BH)
• Mounting: integral punchings for attachment
• Standards: manufactured to DIN EN 13601

How to use

Position the bus bars in the cabinet or enclosure aligned with the DIN-rail or mounting plane and secure them using appropriate fasteners through the integral punchings. Connect grounding conductors and protective earth (PE/PEN) conductors to the bus bar using suitable bolts, washers and torque settings as per installation standards. Ensure all connections are clean, mechanically tight and insulated where required. Observe local electrical codes for earthing practices and perform continuity and resistance checks after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a 700 mm bar length and 30×5 mm cross-section fit the intended enclosure and mounting points
• Confirm copper bus bar suitability for the expected current and grounding requirements
• Check compatibility of connection hardware and required torque values for secure termination
• Ensure compliance with local earthing and electrical installation regulations

Usage recommendations

When installing the Rittal bus bars, use appropriate corrosion-resistant fasteners and protective washers, routinely inspect terminals for tightness, and perform periodic continuity tests to maintain reliable PE/PEN grounding performance in industrial or commercial installations.
