Busbar Systems
Busbar systems replace point-to-point cabling with a compact, touch-safe copper distribution backbone that breakers, fuse holders and adapters clip straight onto. We stock the Woehner 60 mm Classic and CrossBoard systems, Rittal RiLine busbar and adapters, ABB PS busbar for manual motor starters, and Lovato and Chint bars, supports and covers.

Shop Flexible Busbar →Choosing the Right Power Distribution System
Distributing power inside a panel or switchboard safely and compactly comes down to the right combination of busbar, distribution blocks and earthing. Choose based on current, short-circuit rating and how many outgoing circuits you need to feed.
Busbar systems with adapters let you mount MCCBs, motor starters and fuse switches directly on 60 mm or 40 mm busbars, saving wiring and panel space.
