Rittal RiLineX next‑generation open busbar platforms are ideal for modern power distribution. Designed around a standardized 60 mm system, RiLineX accelerates panel building with modular, tool‑free “click‑in” components and adapters, enabling up to 75% installation savings while expanding usable space by 15%. It delivers consistent contact‑hazard protection to IP 2XB (upgradable to IP 4X) and tested short‑circuit resistance up to 65 kA, so users can work safely even on live systems when required. Rated up to 800 A with AC up to 1,000 V and DC up to 1,500 V, RiLineX supports modern electrification and DC trends while remaining flexible for future needs. Global deployment is simplified through UL 508A and IEC 61439 approvals, and the system’s backward compatibility with RiLine60 eases retrofits and expansions. Engineers can speed planning and ensure system integrity using the RiPower configurator and available Eplan macros, cutting engineering time by up to 30%. Sustainability is also built-in with complete boards that are available in 800 A and 550 A variants to optimize copper usage and total costs. RiLineX installs horizontally, vertically, or overhead bays across enclosures with simple steps and offers adjustable support for standard flat copper or aluminum busbars (15/20/30 mm x 5/10 mm). From connection adapters and component adapters to NH technology and molded‑case breaker (MCB/MCCB) adapters with Easy‑Fix mounting, RiLineX provides a comprehensive ecosystem for safe, fast, and scalable power distribution.
