Rittal Air Circuit-Breaker Supporting System
Rittal, the leading global provider of industrial enclosures, power distribution, climate control and IT infrastructure, has developed a new busbar supporting system for air circuit-breakers. The system has been developed to enable 4 x 120 mm x 10 mm coppers to be secured safely to the top and bottom of the air circuit-breaker.
It has been carefully designed to ensure ease of use, maxiumum convenience and faster fitting for system integrators.
The support, which is suitable for 600 and 800mm wide enclosures, is quick to install within Rittal’s Ri4Power modular switchgear systems, speeding up the time needed for installing air circuit-breakers in Ri4Power. With only part number to order it simplies the ordering process and reduces stocking levels for the panel builder.
Installation instructions are straightforward and there is clear guidance on the spacing of the support enabling verification up to 100 kA Icw for one second.
The new system has been tested in line with IEC 61439 and can be used with all leading circuit-breaker manufacturers’ products up to 4000 amps.
