Default low voltage electrical cabinets regulations

Goodmorning to everyone.

I'd like to ask if anyone knows about the following:
In an electrical distribution cabinet of 380Vac, with the busbars inside the cabinet, how should the busbars be covered and this according to which regulation?

Thanks in advance,

Charis

it depends what form it's been built to most switchgear is built to form 4a or4b ,busbars should be insulated or protected by barriers the barriers don't have to be insulated but have have sufficient clearence so as not to come into contact with any live source
