Simet 81993006 1-Phase Fork Busbar 80A 12 Modules 16 mm2

The Simet 81993006 is a high-quality 1-phase fork-type busbar engineered for streamlined power distribution within electrical switchboards. Designed to support a current rating of 80A, this component features 12 modules and a 16 mm2 cross-section, making it an ideal solution for bridging modular devices such as circuit breakers. By providing a stable and conductive path, it simplifies the wiring process and ensures a professional, organized layout inside distribution cabinets.

Advantages

This fork busbar offers significant benefits for electrical installations by reducing the amount of individual wiring required between modular components. Its robust construction ensures low contact resistance and high electrical reliability, which helps prevent overheating and connection failures. The standardized design allows for quick and easy installation, saving time during the assembly of complex electrical panels while maintaining a clean and safe environment for all connected equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting multiple single-pole circuit breakers in a row
• Power distribution in residential and commercial electrical switchboards
• Organizing DIN-rail mounted modular components
• Professional electrical panel assembly

When it may not be suitable

This busbar is specifically designed for 1-phase systems and cannot be used for 3-phase applications. It is also not suitable for devices that require pin-type connections or for installations where the total current load exceeds the 80A rating.

Key specifications

• Phase: 1-phase
• Connection type: Fork
• Current rating: 80A
• Number of modules: 12
• Cross-section: 16 mm2

How to use

To install the busbar, first ensure that the power supply to the switchboard is completely disconnected. Cut the busbar to the required length if fewer than 12 modules are needed, ensuring that the ends are properly insulated if necessary. Insert the fork terminals into the corresponding connection points of the modular devices mounted on the DIN rail. Secure the busbar firmly by tightening the terminal screws on the circuit breakers to ensure a solid electrical contact. Verify that all connections are tight and that the busbar is correctly aligned before restoring power.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your circuit breakers support fork-type busbar connections
• Ensure the 16 mm2 cross-section meets your specific load requirements
• Check the number of modules needed for your specific switchboard configuration
• Confirm that the 80A current rating is sufficient for your circuit design

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the installation is performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical safety regulations. Regularly inspect the connections for any signs of heat or looseness during routine maintenance.
