Bus bar Rittal SV 9686.538, copper, set of 2, length 700 mm

Rittal SV 9686.538 is a set of two solid copper bus bars, each 700 mm long, designed for electrical distribution and earthing applications in industrial enclosures and switchgear. Manufactured to DIN EN 13601 standards with integral punchings, these bus bars offer a straightforward solution for creating PE/PEN rails or main distribution conductors in control panels and distribution boards.

Advantages

These copper bus bars provide high conductivity and reliable current carrying capacity in a compact form factor. The solid construction and standardized dimensions make them suitable for straightforward mounting and integration into existing busbar systems. Integral punchings simplify installation by providing preformed holes for secure fastening and easy connection of conductors or terminal blocks.

Suitable for

• PE/PEN grounding rails in electrical control panels and distribution boards
• Internal busbar systems in switchgear and industrial enclosures
• Applications requiring solid copper conductors for consistent electrical performance
• Retrofit or new installations where a 700 mm busbar length is required

When it may not be suitable

This product may not be suitable for installations that require insulated or color-coded busbars, flexible braided conductors, or non-copper materials. It is not intended for use as an external exposed conductor without appropriate enclosure or protective covers.

Key specifications

• Material: solid copper (electrolytic copper)
• Quantity: set of 2 bus bars
• Length: 700 mm each
• Cross-section/format: 30 x 10 mm
• Standard conformity: manufactured to DIN EN 13601
• Feature: integral punchings for mounting and connections

How to use

Mount the copper bus bars inside the enclosure or panel using appropriate fasteners through the integral punchings to ensure secure mechanical and electrical connection. Connect incoming and outgoing conductors or terminal blocks to the punched holes using suitably rated bolts, washers and nuts, ensuring torque values and tightening sequences conform to local regulations and equipment manufacturer recommendations. Ensure the enclosure provides appropriate protection and that the bus bars are properly bonded and insulated where required.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility of the 30 x 10 mm cross-section and 700 mm length with your panel layout and terminal spacing
• Confirm that solid copper material and lack of insulation meet your installation safety and regulatory requirements
• Ensure your mounting points and fasteners match the position and size of integral punchings
• Check required current rating and thermal conditions for your application

Usage recommendations

For safe and reliable operation, install bus bars in de-energized conditions, follow applicable electrical codes, and use torque-controlled tools for terminal connections. If uncertain about current ratings or grounding schemes, consult a qualified electrician or system designer.
