Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the primary function of a comb busbar like the A9XPH212?
A comb busbar is used to distribute electrical power from a single source to multiple circuit breakers or other electrical devices in a compact and organized manner, typically within control panels and switchgear.
What does '18mm pitch' mean in relation to this busbar?
The 18mm pitch refers to the spacing between the connection points on the busbar, which is designed to match the standard width of many modular electrical devices like miniature circuit breakers.
Can I use this busbar with circuit breakers from other brands?
While it might physically fit, it is strongly recommended to only use this busbar with compatible Schneider Electric Acti 9 series devices (iC60, iID, iK60, iSW) to ensure proper electrical connection, safety, and performance.
How do I determine the correct length to cut the busbar?
Measure the space where the busbar will be installed and count the number of modules (circuit breakers or devices) you need to connect. Use the cutting indicators on the busbar to mark and cut to the precise length required.
What are the benefits of the electrical insulation?
The electrical insulation helps to prevent accidental contact with live parts, significantly reducing the risk of electrical shock during installation, maintenance, or in case of minor wiring errors.
Is this busbar suitable for outdoor use?
This busbar is designed for use within control cabinets and enclosures. Its suitability for outdoor use depends on the enclosure's protection rating (IP rating) and environmental conditions. It is not inherently weatherproof.
What is the warranty period for the Schneider Electric A9XPH212?
Warranty information can vary by region and supplier. Please consult the product documentation or your point of purchase for the specific warranty details applicable to this product.
Troubleshooting
Busbar does not fit securely on the DIN rail.
Ensure the DIN rail is standard and correctly mounted. Check if the busbar's mounting profile aligns properly with the DIN rail's grooves.
Circuit breakers do not attach firmly to the busbar.
Verify that the circuit breakers are from the compatible Schneider Electric series (iC60, iID, iK60, iSW). Ensure the busbar is clean and free of obstructions where the breaker clips engage.
Electrical arcing or overheating at connection points.
Immediately de-energize the circuit. Check that the busbar and breaker connections are clean, tight, and rated for the current being drawn. Ensure the busbar is properly sized for the load and that no strands of wire are loose.
Difficulty in cutting the busbar to the desired length.
Use a sharp, high-quality cutting tool designed for electrical components. Ensure the cutting indicators are properly aligned before making the cut.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Facilitates quick and easy power distribution in control cabinets.
- Customizable length reduces waste and ensures a precise fit.
- Electrical insulation enhances user safety.
- Robust 100A current rating for demanding applications.
- Environmentally conscious design with no toxic heavy metals.
Cons
- Limited compatibility, primarily for specific Schneider Electric Acti9 series.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the control cabinet is de-energized and all safety precautions are in place.
- Identify the required length for the busbar using the integrated cutting indicators.
- Carefully cut the busbar to the determined length using an appropriate cutting tool.
- Mount the comb busbar onto a standard DIN rail within the control cabinet.
- Connect the busbar to the incoming power source.
- Attach compatible Schneider Electric circuit breakers (e.g., iC60, iID, iK60, iSW series) onto the busbar, ensuring they are securely locked in place.
- Install the provided end caps onto the exposed ends of the busbar.
Compatibility:
This comb busbar is designed for use with Schneider Electric's Acti 9 series, specifically:
- iC60
- iID
- iID K
- iK60
- iSW
- iSW-NA
Always verify compatibility with your specific Schneider Electric devices before installation.
Care:
- Keep the busbar clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the insulation.
- Regularly inspect for any signs of damage or wear, especially to the insulation.
