Technical data

Essential performance parameters and construction features that ensure reliability in real-world applications

The technical backbone of the System pro E Power 185 mm Busbar System reflects ABB’s focus on delivering a safe and dependable platform for main distribution boards where simplicity, clarity of architecture and mechanical robustness are essential. Every element—from enclosure dimensions to electrical ratings and protection levels—has been engineered to meet the needs of typical low‑voltage distribution systems, ensuring predictable behavior, easy integration with ABB devices and confidence during installation and operation. This section summarizes the key specifications that define the system’s performance envelope and help designers plan installations with accuracy and consistency.
Up to 2000A rated current
Up to 75kV short circuit current
Footprint optimization thanks to width section designed to optimize breaker dimensions
IP protection class 30, 40, 54, 55
External height of 1900, 2200mm and a depth of 400 and 600 mm.

How the 185 mm System Enhances Main Distribution Applications

Evolving from ABB’s empty enclosure platform, the System pro E Power 185 mm introduces a streamlined architecture where the main busbar also serves as the distribution busbar, significantly simplifying the switchgear layout.

This simplification reduces copper usage and assembly time, making the system ideal for projects where efficiency, repeatability and cost control are essential. The system excels in scenarios requiring dependable but not high‑end performance: installations with only front access, standard protection needs, and panel builders who value modular kits, predictable layouts, and straightforward configuration. By integrating seamlessly with ABB’s breakers and Combiline‑N modules, the 185 mm system offers a flexible, reliable and cost‑optimized approach to power distribution.
