Simet SW3F(3P+N) 16 12M80A Three-Phase Fork Busbar 80A 12 Modules 16 mm

The Simet SW3F(3P+N) 16 12M80A is a professional three-phase fork-type busbar designed for efficient electrical distribution in modern switchboards. This component is specifically engineered to handle power distribution for up to 12 modules, providing a reliable and organized connection point for electrical circuits. With a cross-section of 16 mm and a current rating of 80A, it is built to meet the rigorous demands of both industrial and residential electrical installations, ensuring consistent performance and safety.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this fork busbar is its ability to streamline the wiring process within a distribution board, significantly reducing the time and effort required for installation compared to traditional jumper wires. By utilizing a fork-type design, it ensures a secure and stable mechanical connection to circuit breakers and residual current devices. The robust construction and high current capacity contribute to a safer electrical environment by minimizing the risk of loose connections and overheating, while the 12-module capacity allows for a compact and tidy layout within the enclosure.

Suitable for

• Electrical distribution in residential switchboards
• Industrial power management systems
• Connecting residual current devices (RCDs)
• Organizing modular electrical components

When it may not be suitable

This busbar is not suitable for applications requiring a current capacity exceeding 80A or for installations that utilize pin-type connection terminals instead of fork-type terminals. It is also not intended for use in environments where the physical dimensions of the 12-module layout do not align with the specific spacing of the installed circuit breakers.

Key specifications

• Type: Three-phase fork busbar
• Current rating: 80A
• Cross-section: 16 mm
• Capacity: 12 modules
• Configuration: 3P+N

How to use

To install the busbar, first ensure that the main power supply to the switchboard is completely disconnected. Measure and cut the busbar to the required length if necessary, ensuring that the ends are properly insulated with end caps to prevent accidental contact. Align the fork terminals with the connection points on the circuit breakers or residual current devices. Insert the forks firmly into the terminals and tighten the screws on the devices to secure the busbar in place. Verify that all connections are tight and that there is no risk of short circuits before restoring power.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of your circuit breakers with fork-type busbars
• Ensure the 12-module length fits your specific switchboard layout
• Check that the 80A rating is sufficient for your total circuit load
• Confirm the phase configuration matches your electrical system

Usage recommendations

Always adhere to local electrical codes and safety regulations when installing distribution components. It is recommended to have this equipment installed by a qualified electrician to ensure proper torque settings and safety compliance.
