Busbar system for AC & DC applications
03 February 2015
Efficient drive systems, idle power loss reductions and the renewable energy sector all require safe, reliable DC solutions and while they cannot replace AC applications across the board, according to Rittal they are definitely growing in importance.

Rittal claims to be the the first manufacturer to offer an approved busbar system with standard components, optimised for both AC and DC applications. No other products are required.
The system has a current carrying capacity of up to 1600A, a nominal voltage of up to 1500V DC and a short-circuit rating of up to 40kA. Rittal’s RiLine is approved to IEC 61439 and UL 845 in conjunction with UL 508, making it suitable for a wide range of industries.
