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. Curious to see it in action?   **Explore RiLineX and discover how you can boost productivity, reduce costs, and build smarter infrastructure across NZ.** [![Download the RiLineX Brochure](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2675301/7b9b3668-d22b-4444-8958-e40458bcb1e9.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2675301/7b9b3668-d22b-4444-8958-e40458bcb1e9) Share this with a friend: ### Subscribe Please fill in the form below to subscribe to our blog ### Free Trial ### Posts by Topic - [Industrial Enclosures (36)](https://blog.rittal.com.au/blog/tag/industrial-enclosures) - [IT (33)](https://blog.rittal.com.au/blog/tag/it) - [rittal (27)](https://blog.rittal.com.au/blog/tag/rittal) - [Data Centre (24)](https://blog.rittal.com.au/blog/tag/data-centre) - [IT Infrastructure (22)](https://blog.rittal.com.au/blog/tag/it-infrastructure) © Rittal 2024 | [Privacy Policy](https://www.rittal.com/au-en/Terms-and-Conditions/Data-Privacy-Statement) | [Contact Us](https://www.rittal.com/au-en/Company/Contact) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Rittal", "url" : "https://blog.rittal.com.au/blog/author/rittal" }, "dateModified" : "2025-07-18T04:51:06.172Z", "datePublished" : "2025-07-18T04:51:06.000Z", "headline" : "Power Distribution, Evolved: RiLineX Sets a New Standard for NZ Panel Builders", "image" : [ "https://blog.rittal.com.au/hubfs/RI_ANZ_EN_2025/RI_ANZ_EN_2025_social%20media/RI_ANZ_EN_2025%20-%20RiLineX%20Brochure%20Image.png" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://blog.rittal.com.au/blog/power-distribution-evolved-rilinex-sets-a-new-standard-for-anz-panel-builders", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://blog.rittal.com.au/hubfs/email-template/claim_en_new.png" }, "name" : "Rittal GmbH & Co.
