Bus bar Rittal SV 9686.536, copper, 2 pcs, 500 mm, E-Cu conductor

Rittal SV 9686.536 is a pack of two solid copper bus bars (E‑Cu) each 500 mm long, designed for electrical distribution and earthing applications in enclosures and control panels. Manufactured to DIN EN 13601 standards and supplied with integral punchings, these conductor bars provide a stable, low-resistance path for protective earth (PE) or combined protective earth and neutral (PEN) connections in industrial and commercial installations.

Advantages

The copper construction offers high conductivity and corrosion resistance for durable electrical connections. Supplied as two identical bars, the set simplifies stock management and installation of redundant or parallel grounding paths. Integral punchings reduce on-site preparation time by providing ready-made mounting and connection points, and the 500 mm length balances space economy with flexible routing inside enclosures.

Suitable for

• Earthing/PE and PEN conductor installations inside electrical cabinets and distribution panels
• Industrial control panels and switchgear requiring solid copper distribution bars
• Retrofit or new-build projects where reliable, low-resistance connections are required

When it may not be suitable

This product may not be suitable where non-copper materials are mandated for specific applications (for example, where dissimilar metal restrictions or special alloy requirements apply). It is also not intended for use as a bus bar in systems requiring rated cross-sections or clearances beyond the physical dimensions provided.

Key specifications

• Material: Electrolytic copper (E‑Cu)
• Quantity: 2 pieces per pack
• Length: 500 mm
• Cross-section (nominal): 30 x 10 mm
• Standard: Manufactured to DIN EN 13601
• Features: Integral punchings for mounting and connections

How to use

Mount the bus bars inside the enclosure on appropriate insulating or metallic supports according to the panel layout and applicable safety standards. Use the integral punchings to secure the bar with suitable fasteners and to attach cables or connectors sized for the 30 x 10 mm conductor cross-section. Ensure all terminations are tightened to the torque values recommended for the chosen connectors and verify continuity and resistance after installation. Follow local electrical codes and safety procedures during installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a copper bus bar with dimensions 30 x 10 mm and length 500 mm meets your current-carrying and mechanical requirements
• Verify compatibility of the integral punchings with your mounting hardware and terminal connectors
• Ensure material selection (electrolytic copper) meets any corrosion, regulatory or bonding requirements for your installation

Usage recommendations

Use the bus bars for PE/PEN distribution within properly rated enclosures, avoid contact between dissimilar metals without appropriate measures (such as insulating layers or compatible fasteners), and perform post-installation electrical tests to confirm secure, low-resistance connections.
