Bus bar Rittal SV 9686.544 copper, pack of 2, length 300 mm

Rittal SV 9686.544 copper bus bar set consists of two solid copper conductors, each 300 mm long, intended for electrical distribution and protective earthing (PE/PEN) in switchgear and distribution panels. The bars are manufactured to DIN EN 13601 standards and include integral punchings for secure fastening and flexible connection points. Supplied as a pack of two, this set is suitable for straightforward installation or replacement where a compact, robust bus bar is required.

Advantages

The bus bars are made from solid copper, offering low electrical resistance and good conductivity for reliable current-carrying capacity. Integral punchings simplify mounting and connection of terminals, reducing installation time. The 300 mm length and 40×10 mm cross-section provide a balance between compact installation dimensions and sufficient surface area for current distribution. Compliance with DIN EN 13601 ensures consistent manufacturing quality and material properties.

Suitable for

• Protective earthing (PE) and combined PE/N (PEN) conductors in distribution boards
• Bus bar applications in switchgear and control panels
• Replacement of damaged or worn bus bars in compact installations
• Custom assemblies where short copper bus segments are required

When it may not be suitable

This bus bar set is designed as relatively short 300 mm segments; it may not be suitable where longer continuous bus runs are required without joints. For applications demanding specific certification beyond DIN EN 13601 or where non-copper materials (e.g., tinned copper or aluminium) are required for corrosion resistance or weight reduction, choose an alternative product. The set does not include insulating covers or terminals, which may be necessary in some installations.

Key specifications

• Material: solid copper (E-Cu)
• Quantity: pack of 2 conductors
• Length: 300 mm
• Cross-section (approx.): 40 × 10 mm
• Standards: manufactured to DIN EN 13601
• Features: integral punchings for fastening and connections

How to use

Plan the bus bar placement in the distribution or switchgear cabinet, accounting for clearances and required connections. Align the integral punchings with the cabinet mounting points or terminal blocks and secure the bus bars using appropriate screws or hardware rated for electrical connections. Ensure proper torquing of connection points according to terminal or equipment manufacturer recommendations. If multiple bars are mounted in series, verify contact quality and consider using connectors or jumpers sized for the expected current. After installation, perform insulation and continuity tests to confirm correct earthing and connectivity.

What to consider before purchase

• Required length and cross-section for your current-carrying needs
• Compatibility with your enclosure or terminal mounting points
• Need for insulating covers, terminal lugs, or additional connectors
• Environmental conditions (corrosion risk) and whether a coated or alternative material is needed
• Compliance requirements for your local electrical regulations

Usage recommendations

Use the Rittal copper bus bars for short distribution runs and PE/PEN applications where reliable conductivity and simple mounting are priorities. Combine with appropriate insulating covers and correctly rated fasteners, and always verify connections with electrical testing after installation.
