The Rittal RiLineX base module, type RX 9360150, is a 3-pole module for modular power distribution solutions in industrial applications. It serves as a basic building unit for the RiLineX board system and enables flexible configuration of power distribution units. The module is made of polyamide (PA 6), which exhibits defined flammability characteristics according to UL 94, and is available in the colours RAL 35745 and RAL 9005. It features an integrated, over-mountable busbar holder that accommodates flat busbars with cross-sections from 15 x 5 mm to 30 x 10 mm. The construction is designed for modular mounting, with the system length scalable up to 2400 mm. Mounting is tool-free, simplifying installation. Cable routing can also be performed in the rear area of the board, providing additional flexibility in system design.

Applications

The base module is suitable for applications in the alternating current range up to 1000 V AC and direct current up to 1500 V DC. It is used in industrial power distribution systems where modular, scalable and safe power distribution is required. The systems can be mounted horizontally, vertically or overhead, enabling flexible integration into various enclosure configurations. Application areas include, among others, production plants, automation systems and industrial control technology.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The module consists of a lower part with an integrated busbar holder and an upper part serving as a shock protection cover. The shock protection corresponds to protection class IP 2XB according to IEC 60 529, with an upgrade to IP 3X being possible. The delivery includes the base module lower part, the base module (shock protection cover), and mounting screws. The maximum rated current is 800 A, with the systems designed for a tested short-circuit withstand capability up to 65 kA. The rated voltage is 1,000 V AC and 1,500 V DC, with UL standards specifying 600 V AC and 600 V DC. The rated insulation voltage Ui is 1,000 V AC and 1,500 V DC.

Technology Explained Simply

The integrated busbar holder allows mounting of flat busbars with a centre-to-centre spacing of 60 mm. The electrical values according to UL (SCCR) include various configurations, such as 65 kA at 600 V RMS (unprotected), 100 kA at 600 V with fuse class L max. 1600 A (JDDZ/7), and 100 kA at 480 V with circuit breaker max. 800 A (DIVQ/7). The rated impulse voltage Uimp is 12 kV, and the overvoltage category is 4, indicating high electrical stress resistance. The pollution degree is 3, suitable for environments with increased pollution risk. The frequency of the fundamental wave is between 50 and 60 Hz. The operating temperature range extends from -5 °C to 55 °C, while the storage temperature range is from -25 °C to 75 °C.

Compatibility and Accessories

The base module is part of an extensive system comprising base modules, end modules, baying sets and busbars. Compatible accessories include baying sets such as RX 9360103 and RX 9360104, end modules such as RX 9360101, and busbars in various cross-sections (e.g. 15 x 5 mm, 20 x 5 mm, 30 x 5 mm, 15 x 10 mm, 20 x 10 mm, 30 x 10 mm) with a length of 2400 mm. The system components are designed to be combined with each other to create individual configurations. The systems are designed for easy expansion and field baying.

Mounting and Installation

Mounting is tool-free, which accelerates and simplifies installation. The modular design allows for flexible arrangement of components. Cable routing in the rear area of the board provides additional flexibility in wiring. The systems can be installed in various mounting positions (horizontal, vertical, overhead), enabling adaptation to different enclosure configurations.

Advantages in Operation

The RiLineX system offers high flexibility through modular expandability and individual configuration. Fully digital product data enable time savings in planning and documentation. Certifications according to IEC/EN 61439-1 and UL 508 guarantee the safety and reliability of the system. The tested short-circuit withstand capability up to 65 kA and high electrical stress resistance make the system suitable for demanding industrial applications. Simple mounting and expansion reduce installation effort and increase efficiency during system commissioning.
