Why Choose the Rittal SV 3571.005 Laminated Copper Bar?
The Rittal SV 3571.005 is a flexible laminated copper bar designed for high-current connections within industrial switchgear and power distribution systems. Manufactured from high-purity F20 electrolytic copper, it combines excellent electrical conductivity with a laminated construction that makes routing and connecting high-current circuits more flexible than conventional rigid copper bars.
The conductor consists of five 24 × 1 mm copper laminae, creating an overall laminated copper bar size of 24 × 5 mm. Supplied in a 2,000 mm length, it may be individually cut to the required size, providing panel builders with flexibility when creating connections between busbars, switchgear devices and other power distribution components.
A highly resistant vinyl compound provides insulation around the copper laminations, with 370% elongation, a temperature range from -30 °C to +105 °C, fire protection corresponding to UL 94 V-0 and dielectric strength of 20 kV/mm. Rittal specifies rated currents of 385 A at 30 K, 510 A at 50 K and 605 A at 70 K temperature rise.

Flexible High-Current Connections for Power Distribution
Laminated copper bars provide a compact alternative to rigid busbars and large power cables where flexibility and high current-carrying capacity are required. By combining several thin copper laminae into one insulated conductor, the bar can accommodate bends and installation geometry while maintaining the conductive properties needed for industrial power distribution.
The Rittal SV 3571.005 combines five 24 × 1 mm F20 copper laminae into a 24 × 5 mm conductor. Its current capacity varies according to the permitted temperature rise, from 385 A at 30 K to 605 A at 70 K, while its 2,000 mm supplied length can be shortened to meet individual installation requirements.
