In the fast-paced worlds of manufacturing, infrastructure, and energy across New Zealand, every minute counts, and so does every dollar. Labour shortages, tighter budgets, and growing system complexity demand solutions that deliver more with less. Enter RiLineX, Rittal’s next-generation busbar system designed to transform how power distribution is engineered, installed, and maintained.
Why It Matters for the ANZ Market
Traditional power distribution systems often involve time-consuming manual wiring, wasteful material trimming, and extensive engineering hours. RiLineX changes the game. This open, modular 60 mm busbar platform helps New Zealand panel builders and electrical engineers reduce costs, improve safety, and deliver faster project turnaround, all while preparing for the shift towards DC systems and renewable energy integration.
Speed and Simplicity Built-In
With RiLineX, complexity becomes simplicity. The innovative click-and-work system enables tool-free installation of components, cutting assembly time by up to 75% and slashing engineering hours by as much as 30%. Engineers can rapidly plan layouts using the RiPower configurator, ensuring accuracy and eliminating costly rework.
Whether you’re building switchgear for urban infrastructure, upgrading mining sites, or supporting renewable projects, RiLineX offers unmatched flexibility:
- Pre-configured board solutions for fast deployment
- Modular, open-system designs for custom builds up to 2.4 m and beyond
- Horizontal, vertical, or overhead mounting for maximum space utilisation
Sustainability Meets Safety
RiLineX isn’t just about speed, it’s about smarter sustainability. Unlike older systems that require cutting contact hazard protection to fit, RiLineX boards arrive with pre-installed protection to IP2Xb, upgradable to IP4X, saving time and reducing plastic waste.
Even under demanding conditions, RiLineX stands strong. It’s certified for short-circuit resistance up to 65 kA, rated for currents up to 800 A, and suitable for AC applications up to 1000 V and DC up to 1500 V, critical for emerging renewable energy installations.
Ready for Global and Local Standards
Rittal designed RiLineX with the global market in mind, but its features are directly relevant to local standards and practices in New Zealand. It’s compliant with IEC 61439 and UL 508, giving peace of mind to engineering teams working on projects requiring international certification.
A Smarter Way Forward
The future of power distribution demands modularity, digital integration, and sustainable practices. RiLineX delivers all three, whether you’re rolling out new builds or retrofitting existing systems.
