Bus bar Rittal SV 9686.530, copper, set of 2, length 900 mm, 30x10 mm

Rittal SV 9686.530 is a set of two solid copper bus bars, each 900 mm long and with cross-section dimensions of 30 x 10 mm. Manufactured from electrolytic copper (E-Cu) to DIN EN 13601 standards and supplied with integral punchings, these bus bars are intended for distribution, earthing and protective conductor installations in switchgear, distribution panels and industrial enclosures. The paired design provides a reliable conductive path for PE/PEN systems and helps ensure stable electrical performance in fixed installations.

Advantages

The solid copper construction offers high conductivity and good mechanical strength while maintaining corrosion resistance typical of E-Cu material. Pre-punched holes simplify mounting and connection, reducing installation time and ensuring consistent spacing for terminals and supports. The 900 mm length and 30 x 10 mm cross section provide a balance between current-carrying capacity and compact footprint suited to many panel and enclosure layouts.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Protective earth (PE) and combined PEN conductor installations in distribution boards
• Internal bus distribution inside switchgear and control cabinets
• Retrofitting or extending existing earthing arrangements in industrial enclosures
• Applications requiring robust, low-resistance conductive paths for grounding and equipotential bonding

When it may not be suitable

This set of copper bus bars is intended for fixed electrical installations and is not designed for flexible or frequently moved connections. It is not an insulating or isolated busbar — applications that require insulated or colour-coded insulated conductors should consider alternatives. For installation in corrosive atmospheres requiring special alloys or additional protective coatings, other materials may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Material: electrolytic copper (E-Cu)
• Quantity: set of 2 bus bars
• Length: 900 mm
• Cross section: 30 x 10 mm
• Standards: manufactured to DIN EN 13601
• Features: integral punchings for mounting and connections

How to use

Mount the bus bars inside the cabinet or panel on an appropriate insulated or earthed support using the provided punchings. Align the bus bars to match terminal and component positions, then secure with suitable bolts and washers rated for copper connections. Make electrical connections with appropriately sized lugs or clamps, ensuring tight, clean contact surfaces and compliance with torque specifications. Verify continuity and proper earthing after installation and comply with local electrical codes and safety procedures during all work.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the required length and cross section match the panel layout and expected current capacity
• Check compatibility with terminal lugs, clamps and mounting hardware you intend to use
• Evaluate the environmental conditions (humidity, corrosive atmosphere) to ensure E-Cu is suitable
• Ensure the bus bar dimensions and punchings align with your cabinet or distribution board mounting points

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use corrosion-resistant fasteners and ensure all connections are tightened to the recommended torque for copper. Inspect contact surfaces for cleanliness and perform continuity and earth resistance tests after installation. When paralleling conductors or combining with other materials, follow appropriate bonding and expansion practices to avoid galvanic corrosion.
