General
For adapting rail width	10 mm

This product is a spacing element from the manufacturer Rittal, type SV 3056000, specifically developed for use with busbar holders from the SV 3055000 and SV 3057000 series. It is designed for precise adjustment of the rail width within enclosures, enabling optimal positioning of copper busbars (Cu-busbars) with dimensions 60 x 10 mm. The elements are finished in the colour RAL 7035, representing a standard grey tone in industrial applications and ensuring visual harmony with other components in the enclosure.

Applications

The spacing element is used in industrial electrical and enclosure construction, particularly during the installation of busbars in enclosures equipped with holders SV 3055000 or SV 3057000. It allows reduction of the effective rail width in 10 mm increments, which is advantageous when adapting to different busbar configurations or integrating into existing enclosure structures. Typical applications include power distribution, mounting of power switches, or installation of busbars in industrial systems.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The spacing elements are designed as mechanical spacers to be placed between the busbar holder and the actual busbar. This reduces the effective width of the busbar without affecting its electrical function or mechanical stability. The elements are made from a metallic material suitable for industrial environments. The standard colour RAL 7035 matches the typical colour scheme for Rittal system components, enabling a uniform visual appearance within the enclosure.

Technology Explained Simply

The reduction in rail width is achieved by mechanically inserting the spacing elements into the holder. Each element reduces the width by exactly 10 mm, allowing multiple elements to be used consecutively for larger spacing adjustments. The elements are dimensioned to fit securely into the holder and ensure stable positioning of the busbar. Installation requires no additional tools or mounting aids, as they are directly inserted into the designated holder rails.

Compatibility and Accessories

The spacing elements are specifically designed for busbar holders SV 3055000 and SV 3057000. They are not intended for other holder types, as the geometric requirements and mounting principles do not match. Use with Cu-busbars of size 60 x 10 mm is intended, where the spacing elements adjust the busbar width without impairing electrical conductivity or mechanical strength. The elements are available in a packaging unit of 12 pcs, enabling efficient installation in larger enclosure systems.

Installation and Mounting

Mounting is performed by simply inserting the spacing elements into the designated holder rails. The elements fit precisely into the holder and allow secure and stable positioning of the busbar. No additional mounting aids or tools are required. The number of elements to be inserted depends on the desired width reduction, with each individual element providing a 10 mm reduction. Installation is carried out before final securing of the busbar to ensure correct positioning.

Operational Advantages

Using the spacing elements enables flexible adjustment of busbar width, which is beneficial when integrating into existing enclosure configurations or adapting to specific requirements. The precise reduction in 10 mm increments ensures exact positioning and avoids unwanted gaps. Mechanical stability is maintained, and the electrical conductivity of the busbar is not affected. The standardised colour RAL 7035 supports uniform visual design within the enclosure, simplifying maintenance and identification.
