Component Specifications

Definition
Meter mounting rails are standardized structural components designed to securely mount and align electrical meters, indicators, and monitoring devices within industrial metering panels and control cabinets. These rails provide consistent spacing, proper grounding, and vibration resistance while ensuring accessibility for maintenance and calibration.
Working Principle
Meter mounting rails function as standardized mechanical supports that use precisely spaced mounting holes and standardized dimensions to align and secure measurement instruments. They provide electrical continuity for grounding, structural stability against vibration, and thermal dissipation while maintaining consistent positioning for accurate readings and easy installation.
Materials
Galvanized steel (1.5-2.0mm thickness), aluminum alloy (6063-T5), or stainless steel (304/316 grade) with corrosion-resistant coatings; zinc-plated or powder-coated finishes for durability.
Technical Parameters
  • IP Rating IP20 standard (higher available)
  • Rail Width 35mm or 75mm
  • Current Rating Up to 100A continuous
  • Surface Finish Zinc-plated or powder-coated
  • Standard Length 500mm, 1000mm, 2000mm
  • Temperature Range -25°C to +85°C
  • Material Thickness 1.5-2.5mm
  • Mounting Hole Spacing 25mm standard (DIN 46277)
Standards
ISO 6149, DIN 46277, IEC 60715, UL 508A
