Bus bar Rittal SV 9686.586, copper, 2 pcs, length 500 mm

Rittal SV 9686.586 is a pair of copper bus bars each 500 mm long, intended for electrical distribution and protective earth/neutral applications in switchgear, distribution panels and industrial enclosures. Manufactured to DIN EN 13601 standards with integral punchings, this two-piece set provides a reliable conductive path for grounding and power distribution where copper conductors are specified.

Advantages

The bus bars are made from high-conductivity copper, offering low electrical resistance and stable performance under load. Supplied as two pre-cut pieces of equal length, they simplify installation in compact electrical cabinets and allow straightforward placement for PE/PEN applications. Integral punchings reduce on-site drilling and support secure fastening and cable termination.

Suitable for

• Protective earth (PE) and combined PEN conductor installations in switchgear and distribution panels
• Industrial electrical enclosures requiring copper distribution conductors
• Replacement or upgrade of existing bus bar setups where 500 mm lengths are appropriate

When it may not be suitable

This product is intended for installations requiring copper bus bars and may not be appropriate where alternative materials (e.g., aluminum) are specified or where a different cross-sectional size is required. It is not suitable for configurations needing custom lengths beyond 500 mm without additional modification.

Key specifications

• Material: Copper (electro-conductive grade)
• Quantity: 2 pieces per pack
• Length: 500 mm each
• Cross-section: 80 x 10 mm
• Standard: Manufactured to DIN EN 13601
• Features: Integral punchings for fastening and termination

How to use

Mount the bus bars inside the enclosure using the integral punchings and appropriate fastening hardware compatible with the cabinet frame. Ensure surfaces are clean and free of oxidation before making electrical connections. Terminate conductors using correct sized lugs or connectors that match the 80 x 10 mm cross-section and tighten to the torque values recommended for the termination hardware. Verify continuity and correct earthing after installation and before energising the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that copper bus bars and the 80 x 10 mm cross-section meet the electrical and mechanical requirements of your installation
• Ensure 500 mm length is suitable for mounting points and clearances in your panel or enclosure
• Check compatibility of termination lugs and fasteners with the integral punching pattern
• Assess current-carrying capacity requirements and verify against copper cross-section and installation conditions

Usage recommendations

Use corrosion-inhibiting compounds on terminations where required, and follow local electrical codes for earthing and protective conductor sizing. Regularly inspect connections for tightness and signs of overheating to maintain reliable performance.
