Introducing Compact CU Distribution Boards, the latest addition to ABB’s ComfortLine series

• New ComfortLine Compact CU for flush- and hollow-wall mounting completes series with new time-efficient features 
• Subtle frame design facilitates easy mounting, ensuring hassle-free installation, even in hollow walls 
• Smart packaging solutions include recycled cardboard, which doubles as a protective tool against dirt during the installation process 

ABB's ComfortLine series continues to innovate the electrical installation industry by providing solutions that enhance efficiency and save time. Now, with the introduction of the Compact distribution boards for flush- and wall-mounting, ABB completes the ComfortLine series, offering highly efficient and sustainable solutions for electrical installers. These new distribution boards bring significant advantages for flush- and hollow-wall mounting, extending the benefits already enjoyed by installers using ComfortLine meter cabinets, wall cabinets, and wall-mounting Compact distribution boards.

Designed for use in residential buildings, public buildings, and the commercial sector, these distribution boards are versatile and suitable for renovations, modernizations, and new constructions alike. Similar to other products in the ComfortLine series, the ComfortLine Compact CU boasts features that significantly reduce installation time. Its subtle frame, standing at a mere 15 mm in height, allows for plaster leveling up to 25 mm. With a cabinet depth of only 110 mm, integration into hollow walls becomes effortless, aided by the newly developed hollow wall set that simplifies and speeds up the installation process. This set requires just one rectangular wall cutout, and four hollow wall claws, snapped into place from the outside corners of the cabinet and tightened with a screwdriver.

The cabinet includes knockouts for cable insertion on its top, bottom, sides, and rear. Pre-punched knockout slides, removable on the top and bottom for each field width, enable convenient front-facing cable insertion. Additionally, cables can be secured using the integrated cable clamps and strain relief comb.  Smart packaging not only contributes to sustainability but also simplifies the installation process. Made of environmentally friendly recycled cardboard and free from polystyrene, the packaging is tailored to construction site workflow. The cabinet is shielded by two cardboard parts at the top and bottom, which can later be repurposed to protect against dirt after electrical installation. The frame and door remain protected by solid cardboard until they are needed on-site, ensuring they stay clean and undamaged.
