Device description

Busbar Adapter

Adapter for mechanical mounting and electrical connection of a device directly to a busbar system.

A busbar adapter allows a compatible device to be installed on a defined busbar system without separate cable wiring.

It serves simultaneously as the mechanical support and as the current-carrying transition between the busbar and the device.

Adapter geometry depends on busbar spacing, thickness and width as well as the construction of the connected device.

Selection criteria include busbar-system compatibility, rated current, pole count, busbar dimensions, fixing method and the list of approved host devices.
