Modular busbar systems that streamline power distribution, improve safety, and speed up panel builds.
When it comes to busbar systems for industrial control panels, Wöhner sets the benchmark for modularity, safety, and installation efficiency. Two of their most versatile product lines — the 60Classic System and the Crossboard System — offer panel and machine builders a flexible, scalable approach to power distribution.
60Classic system overview
The Wöhner 60Classic is a compact busbar system designed for efficient power distribution inside control panels and enclosures. Built around a 60 mm busbar centre distance, it supports a wide range of modular, snap-on components.
- Fuse holders and disconnectors
- Miniature circuit breaker (MCB) adapters
- Measuring and monitoring devices
- Covers and insulation accessories
Tool-free assembly and snap-on mounting help reduce build time without compromising on safety or performance.
Key specifications
| Current rating | Up to 2,500 A |
| Configuration | 3P, 4P, 5P options — fully customisable for tailor-made solutions |
| Track record | Proven industry standard, 40+ years |

Crossboard system overview
Out of the box system
The Crossboard System takes modular busbar technology a step further, offering a three-dimensional mounting concept that maximises space utilisation inside the panel. Components can be mounted on the busbar in both horizontal and vertical orientations — enabling high component density in compact enclosures.
Key specifications
| Current rating | Up to 800 A |
| Installation | Plug & play — pre-assembled busbars and components with audible click confirmation on connection |
| Safety | Integrated touch protection busbars, IP20 |
| Space saving | Rear-fed option frees up front panel area for extra usable cabinet space |
| Compatibility | Open system — no vendor lock-in due to adapters |
| Assembly | Fast, tool-free installation — saves on labour and wiring costs |
Why choose Wöhner busbar systems?
Wöhner has engineered busbar and fuse systems since 1928, trusted across manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, and machine-building applications worldwide.
- Faster assembly — snap-on components reduce wiring time
- Compact footprint — more functionality per unit of panel space
- Type-tested safety — designed to support IEC-compliant builds
- Scalable architecture — start small and expand as requirements grow
60Classic vs Crossboard — at a glance
| Consideration | 60Classic | Crossboard |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Fast, modular power distribution on a 60 mm platform | High-density builds where space and layout flexibility are critical |
| Mounting concept | Compact snap-on modules on standard busbar layouts | 3D mounting with horizontal and vertical component orientation |
| Typical panel constraints | Standard enclosures with focus on build speed | Compact enclosures with mixed functions and tight wiring space |
| Ecosystem | Both support Wöhner functional modules (fusing, switching, monitoring) within the same ecosystem | |
