Why Choose the Rittal SV 3568.005 Laminated Copper Bar?
The Rittal SV 3568.005 is a high-quality laminated copper bar designed for flexible, reliable power connections within industrial switchgear, control cabinets and electrical distribution systems. Manufactured from high-purity F20 electrolytic copper, it combines excellent electrical conductivity with a laminated construction that makes it particularly suitable for connections where rigid conventional busbars are impractical.
The SV 3568.005 consists of six copper laminae, each measuring 15.5 mm wide × 0.8 mm thick, producing an overall laminated conductor size of approximately 15.5 × 4.8 mm. The individual copper layers are enclosed in a highly resistant vinyl insulation compound designed to provide dependable electrical insulation while retaining the flexibility required for practical installation.
Supplied in a standard length of 2,000 mm, the laminated copper bar can be individually cut to the required length. Its rated current is 265 A at a 30 K temperature rise, 350 A at 50 K and 415 A at 70 K, making it suitable for substantial current-carrying connections in industrial electrical assemblies.

Flexible High-Current Connections for Industrial Power Distribution
Laminated copper bars provide a flexible alternative to rigid copper busbars and conventional high-current cabling. By combining multiple thin copper laminae into a single insulated conductor, the Rittal SV 3568.005 can accommodate installation geometry and movement while providing the low electrical resistance required for substantial industrial currents.
The SV 3568.005 is particularly useful for connections between busbars, switching devices and other power distribution components where alignment or installation constraints make rigid conductors less practical. Its insulated construction, broad operating temperature range and ability to be cut to the required length make it a versatile solution for professional switchgear and panel building.
Typical Applications
- Industrial switchgear and power distribution panels.
- Flexible connections between busbars and switching devices.
- Electrical control and distribution cabinets.
- High-current equipment connections.
- Machine and production-line power distribution.
- OEM switchgear and electrical panel building.
