The SV 9686100 from Rittal is a busbar holder for vertical distribution busbar systems in modular outlet fields. It is used for secure mounting of busbars in industrial electrical installations and is particularly employed in enclosures to keep electrical wiring and distribution components organized and accessible. The holder is designed for 4-pole arrangements and supports busbars with cross-sections of 30 x 5 mm and 30 x 10 mm. It is designed for center-to-center distances of 60 mm and 70 mm, with the 70 mm variant explicitly specified in the product type.

Applications

The busbar holder is used in industrial electrical installations, particularly in enclosures, where vertical distribution systems are required for power supply and signal wiring. It is part of Rittal’s RiLine system, which provides modular, standardized components for dividing power and signal distribution within enclosures. The holder is used in outlet fields, where multiple wires or busbars are arranged in parallel to ensure a clear and maintenance-friendly structure.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The holder is made of thermosetting plastic, offering high mechanical stability and heat resistance. The material meets flammability requirements according to UL 94, ensuring safe use in electrical installations. The color corresponds approximately to RAL 9005, a dark gray typical for industrial enclosure components. The delivery includes mounting hardware, required for installation on enclosure walls or within the outlet field. Mounting is done via pre-drilled holes and screw connections, ensuring secure and durable fixation.

Technology Explained Simply

The busbar holder enables parallel arrangement of busbars at defined distances. The center-to-center distances of 60 mm and 70 mm correspond to standard spacing in modular distribution systems, ensuring compatibility with other RiLine components. Compatibility with cross-sections of 30 x 5 mm and 30 x 10 mm covers common profiles for power distribution, with the 30 x 10 mm busbar suitable for higher current loads. The 4-pole design allows use in three-phase systems with an additional protective earth conductor (PE).

Compatibility and Accessories

The holder is specifically designed for use with busbars of type E-Cu 30x5 mm and 30x10 mm. Suitable accessories include the busbars themselves in length 2400 mm, as well as the SV end cap for busbar holder 9686.0X0, which enables a clean finishing of the busbar ends. The end cap provides mechanical protection and enhances the visual appearance of the system.

Mounting and Installation

Installation is carried out on the walls or inside enclosures, aligning the pre-drilled holes in the holder with the mounting holes of the enclosure. Fixation is done using the included mounting hardware, ensuring secure anchoring. The busbars are inserted into the holders and secured by the holder profile’s shape. Installation is tool-assisted and requires no additional tools beyond a screwdriver or screw clamp.

Advantages in Operation

Using the SV 9686100 enables structured and clear arrangement of busbars in enclosures. The modular design of the RiLine system ensures easy expandability and maintainability. The material selection provides high mechanical strength and thermal resistance, increasing reliability in industrial operation. The clear color coding and standardized dimensions simplify planning and installation in complex electrical systems.
