Wellman Automation required a busbar system that was readily available, fully flexible and offered a wide range of current ratings and accessories.
Wellman Automation is a dedicated designer and supplier of process and electrical power control equipment to industry and supplies a wide range of current rated control panels, on a fully integrated basis, to many industries such as metallurgical process, food, chemical and specialist engineering sectors.
Rittal's RiLine60 busbar systems are designed to safely distribute power throughout a panel.
It was paramount that the busbars could be easily assembled, simple to integrate into third-party products and complimented the overall finished panel.
Wellman Automation selected Rittal as their supplier.
Rittal's RiLine60 busbar systems are designed to safely distribute power throughout a panel while conserving valuable space.
A busbar system uses three copper bars attached to end supports that are connected to the back panel to distribute power throughout the enclosure.
Electrical components are mounted onto adaptors that simply snap into position, thereby establishing an electrical connection.
The busbar systems are flexible and are suitable for ratings up to 1600Amps, offer rapid assembly, are rigid and modular, and can be cut to length to adapt to most applications.
They can also be positioned horizontally or vertically to optimise space.
Mounting is simple: busbars are simply inserted into the respective support.
The integral slide then adapts automatically to the bar width of 15, 20, 25 or 30mm.
No other accessory parts are required.
Inserting the bars and simply securing offers quick and fast assembly.
Wiring time is also reduced by up to 40 per cent.
Free positioning of the support also offers greater stability and utilises the allocated space much more efficiently.
Control gear can be quickly assembled and wired to the RiLine60 support frame and mounted onto the busbar in one simple operation.
The metal reinforced base tray affords protection to the mounting level while at the same time providing the attachment basis for component adaptors with location systems (OT adaptors).
Safety is always assured as all Rittal power distribution products comply with the latest standards and regulations, including IPX2, reducing time of secondary shrouding.
Connections are also minimised and arc flash is dramatically reduced since all live parts are insulated.
